- We have another example that Poland is actually governed by lobbyists. [...] This concerns the Ministry of Development and Technology, and it's a terrible thing, a project is being created, it's already been created, a draft regulation that relates to construction [...] completely eliminates the use of polystyrene foam in Poland [...] actually replacing it [...] with mineral wool - said Daniel Obajtek at a press conference. - Through provisions generally related to fire safety regulations, they are trying to set the standard so high that polystyrene foam is completely eliminated. [...] The producer of mineral wool is 5 international concerns, these are primarily French, German, and Danish concerns [...]. The biggest scandal is that individuals involved in these companies and institutions actually participated in the creation of this regulation - he continued. - Approximately 100 companies in Poland that produce polystyrene foam, 100 companies means thousands of people, these thousands of people will lose their jobs, and what's more, for the benefit of 5 international companies. [...] You will pay 40% more for insulating your homes - he went on to say. - This regulation [...] means that you will pay 30 to 40% more for the thermal modernization of your own homes and buildings. These are enormous financial resources. It affects an industry worth approximately 10 billion zlotys in Poland. At the same time, it causes money to be transferred from Polish companies to Western companies [...] interestingly, in fine print within a 200-page regulation. This is how a pathological lobby operates - said Piotr Müller. - We demand that this proposal be withdrawn, but secondly, we will file a report with the Central Anticorruption Bureau to investigate how this provision found its way into this draft regulation - he continued.
