The European Commission will complete the disbursement procedure by 11 November, and within the next two weeks another pool of money, i.e. approximately PLN 26 billion, will be transferred to Poland - said Deputy Minister of Development Funds and Regional Policy, Jan Szyszko in Brussels after another round of negotiations with the European Commission.

We are not slowing down and we will continue to invest in cheap Polish electricity, our hospitals, infrastructure and the economy - added the deputy head of the MDFRP.
