Draft amendments to the Law on Public Procurement Wednesday and Thursday will deal with the parliamentary sub-committee.

the proposal introduces the so-called Polish law. W Domu. This means that local governments will be able to outsource garbage collection in their area bezprzetargowo. It precludes the waste management industry, claiming it will hit its business. He argues that local governments want these regulations, because they want to create their own municipal companies and independent employment of people.

“If the rules are introduced, at risk will be approx. 18 thousand. jobs in hundreds of Polish companies. Companies that have over the years invested in the development of their business from day to day disappear from the market, because governments will not have to organize tenders, but will be assumed own utility companies. I am convinced that most of them have plans to do so. we do not want preferential conditions, but we want to compete in tenders, which determines the winner the price and quality of service “- said in an interview with PAP the head of the program of the Union of Employers of Waste Management Witold Zińczuk.

the deputy head of the Association of Leszek Zagorski stressed that the introduction inhouse in such form, as the project is not oblige the government no provisions of EU directives. “There is no such obligation, so I do not know where this overzealous on the part of the government. We propose that questions inhouse settle in the announced by the government of the new Public Procurement Act. However, to do this through consultation and dialogue with the industry. The competition always translates into better service quality and lower prices, in this case the competition has disappeared. We’ll get to the free-market monopoly, “- he said.

He added that the principle of inhouse is to make it where waste management is not doing the market. “In Poland, meanwhile, the market works well. There is no evidence that guided the institutions of the European Union, when we formed these provisions. In the EU, there are cases when the market can not cope, and the prices are too high – as for example in Italy – but not in Polish “- he stressed.

owner collecting waste Andrzej Bakun told PAP that if the project will come in the form of in life, his company and the like will disappear from the market, and the work will lose about 50 people. “We know that governments will want to establish independent

s own company. Many years built a company and new the rules will mean the elimination of practically from day to day, “- he said. He added that he hopes that at the stage of parliamentary committee will be final withdrawal of these records.

Arkadiusz donut from the Employers of Poland stated that, inhouse already spoken twice negatively Council for Social Dialogue. “I think that even during the work of the Sejm will use the resolution of the Council for Social Dialogue. Work on the regulations are in the initial stages, but you need to act. Consultations took place, but were not preceded by analysis eg. The impact of these solutions on the labor market” – said the PAP . He added that the issues inhouse should be included in the planned new law concerning. Public procurement.
