Divisions spoil Solidarity’s 30th Anniversary celebrations In the last days of August, while Gdansk and Gdynia feted with fireworks the agreement that lead to the formation of the Solidarity trade union in 1980, the fireworks between warring political factions marred the festivities.

A day earlier in Gdyni a, Walesa joined Prime Minist er Donald T usk t o la y f lowers at a monument for shipyard workers killed in clashes with the Communist r egime in 1970, and he and Tusk later attended a c ommemorative musical performance.

Walesa refused to attend the official ceremonies – some cer emonies he boy cotted, others he was not in vited to - accusing the Solidarnosc leadership of bec oming too in-

Tusk, reacting to the aggression, said “Genuine solidarity should exclude hatred.”

One of the leaders of the shipyard strikes, Henryka Kzywonos-Strychowska, said that Jaroslaw K aczynski was t o be blamed, adding that K aczynski “ should not incit e people against each other.”

The 30th Anniversary events c ommemorated the two- week-long str ike at the L enin S hipyard in Gd ansk, which led to the signing by the communist regime of an a greement on A ugust 31, 1980 with strikers led by shipyard electrician Lech Wałęsa that paved the way for the creation of Solid arity (Solidarnosc), the first and only independent trade union in the entire Soviet bloc.

The Solidarity movement gained world-wide attention, and was suppor ted by the Catholic Church. Wałęsa met with Pope John-Paul II at the Vatican in 1981 and a gain during the Pope’s visit to Poland in 1983.

Solidarity went on t o ne gotiate in 1989 a peaceful end to communism in Poland and the subsequent election in 1990 of Lech Walesa to President of the Republic of Poland.

“History must give the Poles the principal credit for bringing the Soviet bloc to its knees,” says Norman Davies in his book Europe, A History. The Solidarity movement “swelled into a nationwide social protest,” says Davies, whose work includes five books on P olish hist ory.

Solidarity “ did not fight the Communists, it simply organized itself without them” to become “the only independent n organization in the Soviet bloc.”

Kaczynski in his speech – using the occasion for political opportunity - stressed the role that his late twin brother Lech and former President - killed in the plane crash in April - had in founding the Solidarnosc union. He said his brother at the time had fought for more rights for the striking shipyard workers, as opposed to those people - now close to the Tusk administration who were quick to agree to compromises with the then-communist rulers.

The wounds are deep - L ech K aczynski had served as secur ity minister during Wałęsa’s presidency, but was fired by him and Jaroslaw Kaczynski lost to PO’s Komorowski in the r ecent July pr esidential elections – and suggest that solid arity among t oday’s politicians – with distinctly different views of the world and their r ole in its futur e - is as unlikely now as it was 30 years ago. n

Central Europe Takes Charge of the EU Once every thirteen years, each of the EU member states has the opportunity to take charge of the Presidency of the Council of the European Union, which is rotated between EU member states every six months. Next year, 2011, will be the year of Central Europe, as Hungary and then Poland take turns to do so, providing a unique “planetary alignment” of two Central European states, with much in common, to help shape the EU agenda. What in practice does this mean for business, and what are the issues that Hungary and Poland will try to push to the forefront of EU debate?

By Marek Matraszek Founding Partner, CEC Government Relations

The Council of the European Union is one of the two legislative bodies in the EU, the other being the European Parliament. The Council is composed of twenty-seven national ministers, one per member stat e, and the ex act membership depends upon the t opic being discussed. For example, when discussing agricultural policy the Council is f ormed by the twenty-seven national ministers whose portfolio includes this polic y area. The 2009 Lisbon Treaty, however, reduced the importance of the Presidency by ending the capacity of the head of state or gover nment of the member state holding the Presidency, to be also President of the Eur opean Council (a different body, being the EU heads of stat e or gover nment). That job, the President of the Eur opean Council, is now in the hands of Herman Van Rompuy, the f ormer Prime Minister of Belgium.

The basic point is that following the ratification of the Lisbon Treaty, the picture of influence at any one time in the EU has shifted considerably, and it is only now in the coming months that we will be able t o see how these new institutions – not only European Council President Van Rompuy, but also the “High Representative of the Union for Foreign Affairs and Security Policy” (Baroness Catherine Ashton) – jockey for position with the Pr esident of the Eur opean Commission J osé Manuel

September 2010

Barroso, the President of the European Parliament (who is of c ourse former Polish Prime Minister Jerzy Buzek) and the c ountry holding the formal Presidency of the Council of the European Union. B y the time Hungar y and Poland take over, much of this will ha ve worked itself out , but it r emains inevitable that the influence wrought by most countries will be a function of that country’s size, its economic and geopolitical clout , the stability of its internal politics and above all the determination, vision and preparedness of its political class to seize the opportunities that its Presidency provides.

Most of these factors work to Poland’s benefit, whilst Hungar y will have to work extremely hard to make its mark on the EU process. Poland is a ma jor player in Europe in general, and one where the political class is determined to make its Pr esidency a success, and not share the fate of the Czech Republic whose Pr esidency never got taken very seriously by anyone. One of the reasons was the internal instability in the Czech Republic, and this is perhaps the most obvious pitfall that Poland must avoid. The current electoral calendar makes it necessary for Poland to have a parliamentary election in the autumn of 2011 - unless Parliament takes a decision to end its t erm prematurely, allowing f or elections t o take plac e in spr ing 2011 and thus leaving a new government in place f or the Pr esidency. The most recent thinking in the office of PM Donald Tusk is that parliamentary elections should be held off until the last possible constitutional date, and a new government sworn in right at the end of 2011, thus lea ving the Pr esidency uninterrupted. That having been said, the prospect of Poland’s political class and government being absorbed by an election campaign in the middle of the Presidency does not bode well for coherence of policy.

But be fore P oland takes over the Pr esidency in July 2011, it will be Hungar y that first flies the flag of Central Europe in Br ussels. Having had elections in the late spring of 2010, and a ne w gover nment in plac e only since mid-year, the Hungarian political establishment faces the disadvanta ge that it has had only a relatively short time to prepare for the Presidency – unlike the government of Donald Tusk, which will ha ve had almost f our years of intense preparation by the same officials. Hungary is further handicapped by the fact of its parlous domestic economic situation, the r esult of eig ht years of disastr ous mismanagement by post -communist government earlier this decade. This economic weakness will make f oreign leaders sceptical of the ability of Hungary to achieve much, as well as provide them with substanti al economic and financial leverage over Hungary should it star t pr oposing positions that mainstream European countries might find disagreeable.

On the other hand Pr ime Minister Viktor Orban is nothing if not determined and forceful on key areas of policy such as energy security, regional cooperation in the Danube basin, expansion of the EU t o Croatia, and arg uing for continued transfers to the Central European region on the nex t budget perspective.

Above all, Orban is committed to establishing a strategic regional relationship with Poland.

It was quite deliberate that he chose Poland as the first country he visit ed aft er bec oming Prime Minister, even before his visit to Brussels. O rban has tr emendous sentiment t owards P oland, ha ving visit ed the c ountry many times in his y outh, and believes that they two countries are joined by a c ommon geopolitical interest in key areas of policy. Poland is perhaps mor e circumspect in its attiContinued on page

Thus far however, Poland has taken its preparations ser iously. To more closely coor dinate e fforts, the f ormerly independent European Integration Office has been inc orporated into the Ministr y of Foreign Affairs.

Work has been split between the Department of Co-ordination of the EU Pr esidency (technical and organizational aspects) super vised by deputy foreign minister Mikolaj Dowgielewicz, and the Department of Economic Policy (policy aspect) supervised by deputy minister Piotr Serafin. There are five main policy areas where Polish pr iorities will be de fined: the new financial perspective 2014-2020; internal market; energy and climate; Eastern Partnership; and de fence and secur ity. Although Poland and Hungary are in two separate “trios” – the formula of three successive countries hol-

ding the Pr esidency work ing t ogether t o a common agenda – the two gover nment have been engaged in the last few months in an intense dialogue to bridge this slightly unnatural gap between the two . Ar eas wher e cooperation and a c ommon agenda is certa-

”

inly possible are in energy security and a common Eur opean energ y polic y; E astern Partnership; and the post 2013 EU budget structure.

The Hungarian and Polish Presidencies provide for foreign investors in Central Europe a unique oppor tunity t o get their Eur opean agenda communicated to two successive governments with similar sensibilities and also a desire to work together. Ultimately howe-

ver, the ability of the Hungar ian and Polish Presidencies t o be a use ful platf orm on which companies can build their public affairs strategies will depend on the de gree of stability in those countries during the Presidency. In the case of Hungar y, that is assured thr ough the fact that Vik tor O rban’s Fidesz par ty won an over whelming twothirds parli amentary ma jority in this springs elections; and although Poland faces elections at the end of its Pr esidency, the election in July of Bronislaw Komorowski as Poland’s strongly pro-EU President will as sist the country in stabilising its appr oach on strategic EU issues. With stable internal politics, and a clear vision of the Europe they want to see, the two c ountries in tur n will look t o business and in vestors t o pr ovide their inputs as t o the polic y priorities they see as necessary to maintain growth and economic recovery. A new Hungary-Poland-Business “trio” therefore beckons as a unique opportunity to shape the European agenda, not just in 2011 but also f or a long time n beyond.

Poland on the world stage Looking back over the last 20 years, few prognosticators would have gotten it right in the case of Poland.

Mired in pover ty in 1990, and aft er more than 50 y ears without a functional market economy, Poland was more mis-developed than undeveloped. The yoke of the Soviets had been cast off, yet the futur e direction and development str ategy of the c ountry was open to debate. On one side wer e the free-market purists, like Leszek Balcerowicz, urging a rapid transformation and shock therapy to jolt the patient back t o life. On the other side wer e letharg ic vest ed int erests supporting a slower tr ansition – less “painful” and less disruptive.

Generally speaking, the Balcerowicz camp won the day.

Fast-forwarding to 2010, the P olish economy shows vigor, balance and dynamism that is the envy of most “eastern” European economies and many western European economies.

The Polish worker – often thought of as a common physical laborer – are now valued for their strong educational credentials, in fields such as IT and medicine and eng ineering. No longer are western Europeans recruiting Polish workers en masse t o work in agricultural fields, but rather as a source of highly-qualified software programmers, doctors or financial analysts. Polish models are recognized for their g race and beauty and often as top-earners in the fashion industry.

Buzek and B alcerowicz are recognized and revered names in Brussels and Washington,

“Polish workers – often thought of as a common

physical laborer – are now valued for their strong educational credentials, in fields such as IT and medicine and engineering.”

In this special edition of BizPoland Magazine prepared especially for the Krynica Economic Forum – itself c elebrating 20 years – we take a closer look at the individuals and companies that have come to personify the performance and transformation of Poland – and its g rowing influence on the world stage.

Sectors that might earlier have been a source of stig ma or shame – such as pig far ming and v odka – ar e incr easingly highly-valued, a profitable source of export income – and even tr endy in certain consumer circles.

and thought of as “ best-of-breed” in their respective fields.

Technology has enabled the outsour cing of service labor from higher-cost countries to lower-cost, well-educated countries, and Poland is finding a big opportunity in the sector. Shared service centres and BPO and outsourcing services are producing tens of thousands of jobs that demand educat ed and innovative workers.

Polish companies, pitched in battle a gainst each other over the last decades , have grown strong and resilient, and increasingly see opportunities to expand in western Eu-

rope, Russia, Asia and the Americas. Poland is often cited as one of the largest foreign investors in r egional economies. And P olish companies are making acquisitions – oft en large ones – in the United States, Scandinavia and Africa.

Poland’s financial markets ar e buoyed by the twin pillars of a strong, well-regulated and innovative stock exchange and swelling pension funds that need t o invest in secur ities, underpinning the country’s equity markets.

Private equity funds ar e doing deals outside of Poland, and foreign companies are listing their shares on the W arsaw Stock Exchange, drawn by its transparency and liquidity.

Yet opportunities have been lost over the last 20 years – and perhaps lessons learned.

Privatisation is a hot t opic in 2010, and although the current government admirably aims to finish the job, it’s a job that should have been largely completed 10 to 15 years ago. It has moved at a snail’s pace – so much so that this y ear’s privatization push is ac claimed as “ambitious”.

The labor code remains an area of obfus cation, tax avoidance and outright fraud. Reforms and a lighter touch by the taxman will lead to higher revenue generation, through better economic growth and compliance by companies.

Tourism in Poland – while far below the potential of southern European countries – suffers from rail stations that are shameful and road conditions that are deadly. More people died on P oland’s roads just in 2009 than all Allied combat deaths in Iran and Afghanistan in the last five years combined.

Yet the nex t twenty years has the pot ential to put Poland in the main lea gue tables in Europe, and some say, equalize the per capita income gap. With enormous subsidies provided by the Eur opean Union, Poland’s infrastructure of roads and rail – as well as technology and human talent – ar e well on their way to being on a par with western Europe. The Euro 2012 f ootball championships are creating the necessary urgency and provide opportunities for the tourism sector.

According to Mark Mobius of Templeton investment group, the Warsaw Stock Market has the potential to triple in the next decade.

In the following pages, we profile some of the people and personalities who ha ve helped build Poland’s economy, and who ha ve established themselves as leaders and innovators behind Poland’s growing influence on n the world stage.

Warsaw Stock Exchange – battling for CEE regional dominance Tightly-regulated and ambitious, the Warsaw Stock Exchange has grown into the largest stock market in central and eastern Europe, overtaking Vienna.

The battle lines for regional dominance in CEE’s capital markets ar ena ha ve been drawn: P oland’s W arsaw S tock E xchange stands in direct competition to the Vienna Stock Exchange’s regional alliance which includes B udapest, Pr ague and a r eluctant Ljubljana. While the head-to-head competition has been clearly decided in favor of Warsaw (equity tr ading v olumes and market capitalization in Warsaw significantly exceed Vienna’s numbers), both pla yers are taking different tacks to improve their strategic position.

Vienna has taken majority stakes in the stock exchanges in ad jacent countries of Hungary, Czech, and Slovenia, forming the regional alli ance C EE S tock E xchange Group – while Warsaw has continued alone under the wing of its 98%-shareholder, the Polish Treasury Ministry. While that cozy relationship is about to change in Q4 with the plan to sell 63% via an IPO of the Warsaw Stock Exchange on the W arsaw Stock Exchange, the shor t-term jocke ying f or strategic position will continue.

In July 2010, the WSE announc ed a “strategic alli ance” with the g lobal ex change NYSE Euronext, which specifically involves the migration of the WSE’s system to the NYSE’s trading platform. Other specifics of that alliance have not been disclosed, and financi al t erms wer e also not disclosed.

“The under taking we ar e now star ting with NYSE Euronext is, without any doubt, one of the most sig nificant moves aimed at developing the WSE further as an international market plac e, said Ludwik Sobolewski, C hief E xecutive O fficer. “I t is a direct consequence of the strategy adopted and implemented by the WSE B oard in recent years. We are at the very beginning as regards the strategic partnership, but this beginning comes at a very appropriate moment, complementing other, already much more advanced endeavours. ” The IPO will raise much-needed funds for the Treasury Ministr y, but the amount of new capital that will flow to the WSE as a direct result of the listing is not yet decided.

The drive toward greater capital markets integration has squeezed smaller regional players and forced consolidation across Europe’s national ex changes. Regional stock exchange “ hubs” have formed - first ar ound the EURO NEXT market, which includes the west ern Eur opean markets of France, B elgium, N etherlands, P ortugal and Unit ed K ingdom. EURO NEXT is in turn owned by the NYSE which has rebranded it as NYSE EURO NEXT. Northern European markets of S tockholm, H elsinki and Copenhagen have clustered around the OMX group.

And the battle is on between the Warsaw Stock Exchange, making strong inroads in building a C EE Market Hub, and the W ie-

The Polish economy is per forming well, with expected GDP growth leading the r egion of 3% + in 2010, and a r ush to privatize firms is drawing foreign and domestic interest in new listings. The IPO listing of insurer PZU was the biggest in Europe this year and the listing of T auron energ y group drew strong interest from foreign institutional investors.

Indeed, the WSE r eported a leap in tr ading by f oreign investors in the first half of 2010 to 47% of overall trading value, an 11-percentage-point gain on the same pe-

riod last y ear. Domestic institutions ac counted for 33% of trading in Polish equities in the first six months of the year, with domestic individual investors responsible for the remaining 20%.

UK investors contributed the largest proportion of foreign orders at the WSE , with 60%, followed by France with 13%. Austrian institutions are the dominant f oreign brokers in the options and futures markets, carrying out more trades at the WSE than on rival Austrian-based exchange W iener B oerse, according to the WSE. “The WSE has made good pr ogress in 2010, despite the continuing uncertain global economic environment, with increased foreign investor activity and a number of important new issues confirming our position as CEE’s leading capital market,” commented CEO Ludwik Sobolewski.

The WSE has also taken the initiative to innovate, and its New Connect less-regulated market, launched in 2007, has made it easier for smaller firms to raise capital and subsequently list their shar es on the N ew Connect market . A lthough some market players in W arsaw dismiss the N ew Connect market as inc onsequential, others view it as an impor tant stepping-stone to the more formal listing on the main WSE exchange, which r emains an aspir ation of many Polish entrepreneurs.

The WSE also r ecently intr oduced “naked short sales” on hig her volume shares, which satisfies a market demand.

It also launched CATALYST, a market for bonds, which is drawing interest from corporates as well as incr easingly from cities and municipalities. In addition, thr ough its subsidiary, the Warsaw bourse r uns a platform for treasury bonds.

Poland’s pension funds have been a heavyweight par tner in the g rowth of the WSE , with investment outside of P oland largely restricted until recently. This has clearly boosted the market capitaliz ation of Warsaw, and has been a sig nificant factor in foreign firms seeking to list on the Warsaw Stock Exchange, in order to tap into the appetite of n Poland’s domestic pension funds.

Vodafone to exit Poland – Poland First To Go? Domestic shar eholders in P olkomtel ha ve hired advisers for a possible sale of their stakes, which could begin as early as September, investment bankers famili ar with t elecoms said.

“It would probably want to be part of a larger deal, with other shar eholders selling too,” a second telecoms banker said.

Apart from Vodafone, state-controlled Polish companies together account for around 75 per cent of Polkomtel.

Poland’s largest power g roup PGE hir ed ING to advise it on the options , and PGE’s chief executive said that Vodafone had also expressed an interest in selling. Oil refiner PKN is work ing with N omura and c opper miner KGHM is advised by KPMG. Bankers said that private equity firms including TPG, Blackstone, Apax, CVC and EQT would look at the business.

When Danish telecoms group TDC sold its Polkomtel stake in 2008, the deal valued the c ompany at 3.7 billion eur os. “I don’t think the gover nment would want t o proceed with a sale for less than that valuation,” the second telecoms banker said.

Poland emerging as Europe’s shared services haven 2010 may go down as the year Poland finally “got it” – that the shared services and outsourcing services sector has tremendous opportunity for Poland, and looks set for continued rapid growth.

While several key cities (such as Kraków and Wroclaw) have understood this already for some time, cities in Poland’s east, south, and northwest are keenly aware of the opportunities to expand their tax base, offer employment options for their young graduates, and modernize their city with new office buildings and state-of-the-art telecom services.

And this is great news for large multinationals considering Poland as a shar ed ser vices or BPO destination. Increased competition within Poland means more options, better services, and contained costs for multinationals.

By some estimates (PAIZ), the sector employs about 45,000 people, and is likely t o grow to 70,000 within two years. Those are “big headline” growth numbers, and means high demand f or modern office space, recruitment services, and legal and accounting work – to name just a few.

At its very core, outsourcing is a labor arbitrage – a never-ending search for relatively low-cost, highly-skilled labor, versus an existing alternative. And P oland is well-plac ed for this trade.

On the supply side, Poland has more than 2 million university -level students , and turns out about 400,000 g raduates each year (by far the dominant r anking in C EE).

With major universities spread across many cities, the c ountry offers multina tionals choices of multiple locations, and relatively different sk ill sets and c ost-options. This army of young workers – reinforced and resupplied annually – is better educated than

the EU average, and strong in European languages, technical and IT skills, and administration and accounting.

The ecosystem of support for the outsourcing sector is also dynamic and improving rapidly. The stock of moder n C lass A office buildings has g rown substantially over the last five y ears, and cities tha t offered few choices – such as Szczecin, Gdansk, and Katowice – ha ve seen big incr eases in their stock of moder n office spa ce. C ity gov ernments offer administr ative and in vestor support, as well as pot ential for tax breaks for employment, grants of land, or other incentives. Financial incentives from the European Union ma y also be a vailable. And while broadband access in Poland’s countryside is poor, telecom quality and broadband access in the larger cities is often world-class.

On the demand side, c ompanies wor ldwide ar e under pr essure t o cut c osts t o achieve profit targets, as revenue gains have been more difficult to achieve. Not only are there costs to wring out of rules-based, repetitive transaction tasks, but firms are increasingly a ware of labor -cost arbitr age f or higher value-added services, such as consulting, financial modeling, pharmaceutical research and advanced software programming.

And sometimes it ’s not only about the costs – but the ability t o consolidate operations with better controls, or provide extra capacity for busy or over-loaded parts of the organization.

In Poland, BPO and outsourcing service providers see fur ther potential in so- far

untapped areas. W hile most pr ovide services to clients that ar e ultimately based outside Poland, the domestic market holds potential as large P olish fir ms - such as banks, manufacturers and telecoms - seek cost reductions, operating efficiencies and higher financi al r eturns on their asset base.

Poland’s public sect or, including minist ries, agencies, and citi es, is mostly unt ouched by outsour cing, and r epresents big potential – as is clear fr om the examples of the UK and western European governments.

Another market, not to be dismissed, is the behemoth of the Eur opean Union, with its need for European language skills and cultural sensitivities.

Ironically, the str ain on public finances and need f or budgetar y savings across Europe may ultimately benefit Poland’s outsourcing industry.

As the sector passes its first stage of development, one can expect to see further differentiation and speci alization in P oland’s different r egions. O utsourcing mana gers are keenly a ware of the need t o move upmarket, providing more value-added ser vices t o sustain the shift of c ommoditized services to lower cost locations in India, “eastern” Europe, or lower-cost eastern Poland.

As Poland’s smaller cities bite at the heels of the more established outsourcing locations, one can ex pect to see fur ther development and differentiation, and an altogether healthier and deeper outsourcing services sector n in Poland.

Shale gas’ potential to shift geopolitical and economic balance of power While Poland’s coal mines continue to provide the bulk of the country’s electricity needs (91%) and to deliver huge export earnings, the potential of gas trapped in Poland’s ancient shale rock formations has excited the world’s major energy companies.

12

American energy companies, who have the most ex perience with the c omplicated extraction techniques, are racing to establish strategic positions in P oland, in sear ch of huge reserves of shale gas.

Although the amount of shale gas bur ied deep underground in Poland is unclear, geologists believe that the scale of discoveries could be significant. “Ever ything leads to a conclusion that in four or five years - and this is how much time we have to prepare for this – Poland will become a place with quite a lot of natur al gas”, said Macie j Wozniak, chie f adviser on energy security to Prime Minister Donald Tusk.

While Poland consumes about 16 billion cubic metres of gas per year, mostly to heat homes, more than 50% has t o be impor ted from Russia. Geological studies suggest that Poland may have as much as 3 trillion cubic metres of shale gas, which if exploited would make Poland a net exporter of gas, even within the next 7-9 years.

“The next 9 months are extremely critical for the pr ospects of shale gas in P oland”, said Piotr Spaczynski, a partner in law firm SSW, which has an energ y-focused division within the firm. “Dr illings have started already, and the results of the findings will be watched closely by energy companies.”

The Ministry of En vironment has now granted hundr eds of ex ploration conces sions, generally lasting five years. The concessions c over specific territory, and ar e designed to provide enough time for testing the area for the availability of shale gas. The test drilling is more complicated than dr illing for conventional gas, since some of the shale-gas drillings are 4,000 metres deep.

Entrenched energy companies in Poland largely dismissed the potential for economic

exploitation of shale gas sever al years a go, and made “ huge mistakes” by not secur ing more c oncession r ights, ac cording t o Spaczynski. “PKN Orlen may be an “accidental hero” by secur ing large tr acts of land twothree years a go before the cur rent exploration race began”, said Spaczynski.

The Ministry is keen to grant concessions, unlike in Venezuela or Russia, since Poland is intent on diversif ying its supply of gas.

Mineral rights in Poland are owned by the Ministry of Treasury, not by a city , municipality or local land owner.

According t o Jerzy H adro, a c onsulting geologist at Petro-Konsult, shale stretches

land. ConocoPhillips has an option to develop a huge swathe of land in the Silur ian shale under an exploration agreement with Warsaw-based Lane Energy.

National energy security plays big role Gas discoveries could enhance energy security for Poland and neig hboring countries such as the Czech Republic and Slovakia. Poland’s gas -distribution monopoly , P olskie Gornictwo Naftowe i Gazownictwo, cut sales to the nation’s largest r efiner, PKN Orlen, and the big gest f ertilizer maker , Z aklady Azotowe Pulawy, after last winter’s RussianUkrainian conflict left Poland with limited supplies.

Nevertheless, PGNiG agreed in early 2010 a contract with Gazprom for almost threefourths of its gas until 2037.

Polish shale gas is “ a long way off” from having a serious impact, Gazprom said in a statement.

Too optimistic? from Łeba in north Poland to the southeast area past Rzeszow. He said that about 20% of Poland has significant potential for shalegas. Hadro also advices Houston-based firm EurEnergy, which is ex ploring for shale gas in Poland at several of their concession areas.

Hadro said that r eal results, in terms of gas flowing from shale, ar e at least thr eefour years in the future.

But it may turn out that Polish shale formations ha ve t oo much wat er t o tap using techniques currently employed in the U.S., he said.

“It seems to me that at the moment, the foreign companies are a bit t oo optimistic about what may be found in Poland,” Gliniak n said.

Buzek uses post of European Parliament Presidency to promote the Eastern Partnership Selected to the post of presidency of the European Parliament in July 2009, the career of Jerzy Buzek, a former Prime Minister of Poland, has been reignited.

His rise to the top of the European Union has had positive political implications for Poland’s image in the hallowed halls of Brussels.

Buzek’s ascent has not been a str aight trajectory upwar ds. H e has zig ged and z agged along the way, using a combination of persistence and charm – backed up by a rigorous intellect steeped in chemical eng ineering – to grab the top political position in the EU. Back in 2001,his chances to succeed in Polish politics – much less on a European level – looked doomed. In lat e 2001, the B uzek-led minority government of Solid arity Electoral Action (AWS) went into elections less popular than any other government in Poland’s post1989 history – and, in a rare example of an extreme shift in v oting preferences, it failed t o gain a single seat in parliament.

Few now remember that he started his political career by gaining just 1,488 votes in parliamentary elections in 1997 won by the AWS.

Back then, electoral law was such that even as low a tally as that was enough to secure Buzek a seat in the Sejm, Poland’s lower house. That made him little more than a side-show in the AWS, a loose affiliation of right-wing parties.

But that changed when, in a shock move or chestrated by c oalition leader Mar ian Krzaklewski, he was catapult ed into the post of prime minister.

Buzek served as prime minister from 1997 to 2001. B ut after three years into his term, almost 60% of voters were critical of the government’s achievements. To this day Buzek’s government is remembered for carrying out four immense and fundamental reforms – generally unpopular - that many other countries would only have implemented gradually and with the greatest of care. In January 1999, Po-

Asseco software group bids for global presence Starting as a small producer of software for cooperative banks founded in Rzeszow in southeastern Poland, Asseco Poland has become Europe’s fifth-largest software vendor by revenue and was responsible for 3% of combined sales by Europe’s top 100 software vendors.

CEO Adam Goral, who has led the firm’s development and still owns mor e than 10%, has hopes that Polish firms can become lea-

land adopted different healthcare, pensions and education systems, as well as a different administrative structure.

Following the parli amentary elections in 2001, Buzek spent three years out of parli amentary politics, returning to his role as a professor of chemical eng ineering, but that period ended in 2004, when he became a member of the European Parliament.

That break from politics proved time enough for Buzek’s image to undergo a dramatic change: from being the face of a failed and hugely unpopular government, he became an almost legendary figure of the right-wing. After all, he remains the only Polish prime minister to have served a full f our-year term. He was aided by the contrast he provided to the rest of the AWS: in a party characterised by fierce fighting between its factions, Buzek appeared a man of moderation and compromise.

He managed to burnish that new image during his first term in the European Parliament, by finding a topic to champion: environmental regulations and how P olish industry – par ticularly steel and coal, the defining industries of his native region of Katowice – should respond to them. For instance, Buzek became a spokesman for one of the EU- sponsored carbon capture and storage (CCS) installations to be located in Poland.

Buzek’s recent rise – and staying power at the helm of the Eur opean Union – bodes well for Poland as it c ontinues to build its image across Europe as a r eliable and repun table political and business partner.

Goral has built A sseco vi a ac quisitions, buying up more than 20 software firms throughout Europe in the last 5-7 y ears. With more than 8500 employees (half in Poland), Asseco’s subsidiaries have a strong presence in Europe, ranging from Sweden to Spain and the Balkans.

And the firm is on the cusp of moving into the United States with the planned purchase of a N asdaq-listed technology firm – to be paid f or in cash. A sseco booked solid net profits of 365 million pln on 3.05 billion pln revenue in 2009 – and had cash balances of 510 million pln at 30 June.

“The target firm is a bit smaller than we are, and will give us access to the US market and a platf orm for ex pansion there”, said Continued on page

Polish brands build foothold at home – now expanding abroad Poland’s shoppers ’ fascination f or all things “foreign” has undergone a transformation in recent years. While many Polish entrepreneurs cr eated “ faux” f oreign brands to sell their products faster, the appeal abroad of home-grown Polish brands has g rown.

Global leader in the realm of Arabian horse breeding In August, top horse breeders converged on a little town in eastern Poland for one of the world’s most exclusive horse fairs. Buyers and breeders came from Kuwait, Saudi Arabia, Abu Dhabi, United States, Belgium and Germany.

In terms of r esults and r elevance, there is only one g lobal leader in the r ealm of Arabian horse auctions – the “Pr ide of Poland”, held annually in J anow P odlaski, not far from the border with Belarus. From modest beginnings in the lat e 1960’s, the annual sale has evolved into the single most important auction for Arabian horses anywhere in the world and an accurate barometer of the economic climate of the industry.

The sale of mare KW ESTURA f or Eur o 1.125 million in 2008 broke a new record. And a closer look at the pedig rees of the complete list of 2009 World Champion mare winners reveals the influence of Polish breeding to be monumental. With the exception of the straight Egyptian competitors, every single entry earning the title of W orld C hampion Top Ten owes a portion of their accomplishment to Polish ancestry. In an industry first, the awards presentation line-up at the Senior Mare Championship was comprised exclusively of mares from the Polish State Studs.

Buyers in A ugust 2009 included S hirley Watts, the wif e of Rolling S tones’ drummer Charlie Watts, Sheikh Ammar bin Humaid A l Nuaimi, Cr own Pr ince of Ajman of Unit ed Arab Emirates, and Paul Gheysens, principal owner of developer Ghelamco.

The 2010 auction – reflecting the economy – did not set ne w records. “The prices are a bit lower than last year,” said Krzysztof Poszepczynski, a private Polish breeder who offered four horses at the sale. “There are fewer investors and buyers than in 2008 and 2009, ” said spokesman for the fair Katarzyna Prochniewicz.

Yet this year’s auction did not fail t o generate a buzz of emotion. The auction’s favorite horse, a 14- year-old grey mare named P ilar, sold for USD 318,700 t o Mohamed M A l-Sulaiti, representing Qatar’s Al-Shaqab Arabian stud farm.

The horse’s buyer was r eady to pay more.

“It’s like when a man chooses his woman and fights for her - she is my lady,” said Mohamed M Al-Sulaiti. “I think the price was actually low.

PRIDE OF POLAND 2010 Results of Auctions (August) horse

I was ready to pay real money for her. For me, it’s not about the investment. I want to rebuild the best of the Arabian race in Arab states.”

Other horses were bought by investors from the US, UK, Kuwait, Saudi Arabia, Belgium and Germany, among others. The horses are now en route to their new homes. (See adjacent list of full results of the auctions.)

Rolling Stones drummer Charlie Watts visits the fair ever y year with his wif e, Shirley, who is a keen bu yer. “I’ve been c oming here for 20 y ears,” said S hirley Watts, who owns 250 horses. “I t’s a special obsession for a certain group of people. These horses are the best in the world. I’m ver y pleased with the ones I’ve bought here.”

Janow’s appeal stems from its long tradition and preservation of blood lines f or centuries.

The Janow stud’s history dates back to 1817, when the number of horses in Poland fell after the Napoleonic wars. Poland’s Russian occupiers rebuilt its army’s horseback regiment by creating a top breeding farm The effort was thwarted during the First World War and the Second World War when many of the horses perished. It took Janow more than two decades to reconstruct the st ock. It held its first auction in 1969.

There are about 500 horses, both Arabian and Ang lo-Arabian, in J anow P odlaski.

About half of the Arabians are sold abroad.

“Polish horses are the smallest r isk,” said Christine Jamar, who runs a stud of 60 horses in B elgium. “ You’ve had only ex cellent horses here for several hundred years. I have found very good buys for my clients.”

But not all of them are available, says stud director Marek Trela. “The very basic rule is: n Don’t sell the best that you have.”

Privatization up-date Poland’s urgent privatization drive is on schedule for 2010.

The plan envisages raising 25 billion pln from sales this year, and recent data from the Ministry of Treasury is that, as of end of August, sales income from privatization is just shy of 13 billion pln.

With a number of big sales planned in the fall, including a majority stake in the Warsaw Stock Exchange, the target looks ambitious but doable.

Privatization revenues will help fill a bulging budget gap, estimated at about 45 billion pln in 2010, and keep the government’s debt levels below the 55%-of-GDP number, which if breeched would trigger automatic draconian cuts in the budget .

Higher than expected GDP numbers are also helping.

Plans by the Ministry include selling significant stakes in at least two of its largest state-controlled companies, though ministers have indicated that at least 25% will be kept in state hands. “The Finance Ministry would like pr ivatization revenues by the end of 2013 t o total around 50 billion pln,” a governmental source told PAP news agency in August, ahead of the government’s release of its four-year fiscal plan, which includes faster state asset sales , a hig her valueadded tax and limits on spending growth. “The bulk of this amount could come from the sale of stat e shares in insurer PZU and bank PKO BP.” Poland controls 41% of PKO BP and 45% of PZU. The government intends to hang on t o control of about 20 of the largest and most strategic companies, though the firms will be traded on the Warsaw Stock Exchange to provide transparency and good governance. This plan should minimize the scope for patronage of whichever party is in power, and lead to improved management.

According to the FT , the government’s new management plan is based on the way that Norway organises its state sector. Supervisory board members will be chosen after being vetted by an independent committee. The Treasury would also set up a special body similar to a private sector fund mana ger to represent its interests. The plan also calls for the scrapping of limits on the earnings of senior managers, which has limited the talent pool of people willing to work for state companies.

Poland retains Polish, Czech bids for energy privatisation Poland’s treasury announced in late August that it had retained bids from Polish and Czech contenders seeking to buy state-owned power company Energa , while r ejecting a pit ch from French giant GDF Suez.

The treasury said in a stat ement that it would be pursuing talk s with Poland’s PGE and the Cz ech Republic’s Energeticky a Pr umy-

Privatizations: Jan.–Jun. 2010

www.bizpoland.pl slovy Holding, both of whom are eyeing Energa, which controls 17 percent of the nation’s power market.

Besides GDF Suez, the treasury said it had also decided not to give further consideration to a bid from Poland’s Kulczyk Holding.

In May, the treasury put up for sale 82.9 percent of Energa, which is currently wholly state-owned.

Headquartered in the B altic port city of Gd ansk, Energa says it serves 2.8 million households and 300,000 ent erprises, mostly in northern and central Poland.

Energa, which has 12,000 employees, owns a coal-fired electricity plant and 45 smaller hydro-electricity facilities.

In 2008 it made a net profit of 435 million zloty (110.13 million euros, 143.8 million dollars) and had a turnover of more than eight billion zloty (2.03 billion euros, 2.64 billion dollars).

Privatisation of TP S.A. finalised The Ministry of Treasury said that as of A ugust, it has sold its final stake of 4.15% shares in Telekomunikacja Polska. Sales have been carried out via the Warsaw Stock Exchange throughout 2010.

LOT Airlines talks to investors from Americas, Turkey, and Thailand – but no takers yet According to Sebastian Mikosz, LOT has held talk s in August with several investors, including car riers belonging to the S tar Alliance (led by Lufthansa). “We’re looking for a good investor, preferably from the a viation industr y, but we also ha ve a positive r esponse from investment funds,” said Mikosz.

“Potential investors have different expectations as to the company’s policy. Some would like it to enter the Warsaw Stock Exchange, other not,” said Mikosz. The Ministry has said that it wants to finalize the privatization of LOT in 2011. In 2009, LOT reported an operational loss of 335 million pln.

Mikosz is putting a good spin on the privatisation of LOT, which has been undergoing a major restructuring, involving redundancies of more than 400 people. The company currently employs 2,300 people. “Our main goal for the next years is to modernize the fleet,” said Mikosz.

Ruch retailer finally to be sold, as US hedge fund bid accepted Newspaper-and-magazine retailer Ruch announced during the summer that it has r eceived a 630m zloty bu yout offer from Lurena, a subsidiary of US hedge fund Eton Park Capital. Lurena has offered a 23% premium to the six-month average per share, and said it has been in exclusive talks with Poland’s treasury, which is to selling its 56% stake in Ruch. The Treasury Ministry had rejected an offer in April by Mennica Polska, which has a 11% stake in Ruch, sa ying it was too low. The tender offer to public shareholders expires 10 Sepn tember.

Prime Minister Tusk to woo Indian business during state visit Prime Minister Donald Tusk will woo Indian business during his three-day state visit to India that starts 6 September as the country ‘is a role model not only for Poland but for the European Union’, a former ambassador said.

This will be the first official visit of a non-Communist Polish prime minister to India. Tusk will first go to Bangalore, where he will deliver a speech to Indian business leaders before continuing the same evening to New Delhi.

Krzystof Mrozewicz, who was P olish ambassador to India from 1997 to 2001, said: ‘We are proud of our friendship with India. India has taught us many things in political as well as ec onomic spheres.

In a sense India is a role model not only for Poland but for the European Union. The unity in diversity is a clear example of India which the EU is learning fast.’

The purpose of the business meeting, which is being organised by Polish Agency for Foreign Investment (PAIZ), is to encourage Indian investment in Poland.

Since Poland joined the European Union in April 2004, it has received considerable attention from the Indian business community.

Trade between the two countries has jumped to more than a billion dollars in 2009 from a paltry $200 million in 2004.

Many Indian companies including W ipro, Tata Consultancy Services, Infosys and Zensar have set up their European headquarters in Poland. Laxmi Mittal owns 70 percent of steel production in Poland under the Arcor-Mittal group of companies.

Cheap Polish technical manpower and the good c onnectivity of Poland to other European cities are the major factors for Indian exporters.

J.J. Singh, president of the Indo-P olish Chamber of Commerce and Industry, said: ‘The business climate is ver y conducive for Indians to flourish in Poland. Indians are well regarded in Poland. Their hard work and their cultural background have appealed to the Poles tremendously.’ Bollywood films have carved a niche in Polish psyche and Shah Rukh Khan is an idol for youth, he said.

‘Indian food has become very popular throughout Poland. There are 32 Indi an restaurants in Warsaw. Indian samosas, kababs and biryani are well-known dishes f or the Poles who now ha ve a tast e for Indian spices,’ said Singh who helped establish a Sikh gurudwara in Warsaw, the only gurudwara in the whole of E astern Europe, including Russia.

No Indian prime minister has visited Poland since July 1979 when Morarji Desai came on a stat e visit. However, Indian presidents have been on a state visit to Poland periodically. In May 2009, President Pratibha Patil had c ome on a stat e visit t o Poland.

Boguslaw Zakrzewski, a f ormer ambassador and an Indophile, said: ‘It’s high time that there should be a direct air connection from Delhi to Warsaw...There is a siz eable Indian community in Poland and then there are 16,000 Poles who go to India for business or pleasure trips annually. If there is a direct connection tourists from both n countries will benefit.’
