06.01.2023
The Chancellery of the Prime Minister hosted a meeting between the head of the Polish government and the EU Commissioner for Internal Market. The talks concerned the current work of the European Commission on the European Sovereignty Fund. The Prime Minister presented Poland's position and called for an in-depth analysis of the long-term effects of the proposed instruments. It is important to focus on the effective use of existing EU instruments and on adhering to the fundamental principles of the EU single market.
European Commission proposals in response to the US Inflation Reduction Act
The European Sovereignty Fund and the loosening of state aid rules are proposals aimed at strengthening the EU's strategic autonomy and reducing its dependence in key sectors. The solutions proposed by the European Commission are being discussed, among others, amidst the implementation by the United States of the so-called Inflation Reduction Act, a subsidy programme for the US economy.
Poland, along with several other Member States, draws attention to the risks associated with the proposed instruments, pointing to the need for in-depth analyses also with regard to the impact of the US Inflation Reduction Act on the European market. In Poland's view, the focus should be on building a long-term strategy to increase the competitiveness of the EU single market.
