Industry disappointed with government support; electricity relief too small

Polish industry representatives have voiced strong disappointment with the government's announced support package for energy-intensive industries. While the government plans to reduce electricity costs, businesses argue the proposed measures fall far short of expectations and international standards.

According to industry leaders, the relief offered is "many times lower" than what is provided in Western European countries. This disparity raises concerns about the competitiveness of Polish businesses in the global market, particularly as they face high energy costs.

Furthermore, the scope of the proposed relief is limited, expected to cover only a few dozen enterprises. This narrow focus means that the majority of Polish industry will not benefit from the measures, leading to widespread dissatisfaction and a sense that the government's support is inadequate to address the current economic challenges.
