After an hour of private meeting, Waldemar Pawlak and Boris Wenzel gave a joint press briefing during which the deputy Prime Minister re-affirmed the commitment of the Government to eliminate all barriers affecting the competitiveness of Polish ports. Waldemar Pawlak said: “Polish ports may become a gateway connecting Central Eastern Europe with Asia. Bringing Europe-Asia string to Gdansk and maybe to other Polish ports in the future, fuels Polish economy development and attracts new investors which allows creating new work places”.
“The visit by deputy Prime Minister Pawlak sends a strong message to the market. The Polish Government understands the importance of the Polish container port sector for the Polish economy and is committed to support its further development to compete efficiently with other hub ports in Northern Europe. The Polish container port industry needs government support in infrastructure development, and the removal of bureaucratic and financial barriers” pointed Boris Wenzel. “DCT started the revolution in the Baltic Sea region, now it is time to position Poland to become the gateway to Central Eastern Europe.”
