Marek Górski: Time for systematic deregulation in Poland
The article discusses the ongoing efforts by the Confederation of Lewiatan to simplify regulations and reduce bureaucracy to facilitate business operations in Poland.
Marek Górski highlights the long-standing campaign by the Confederation of Lewiatan to simplify regulations and decrease bureaucracy in Poland, aiming to create a more conducive environment for investment and business growth. Since its inception, the organization has championed the idea that reducing formalities can lead to greater freedom in investing and faster development of businesses. They have been publishing a 'Black List of Barriers', identifying significant obstacles to business development in Poland, with 14 editions released since 2003 that serve as reference points in the debate around business conditions.
The Confederation's efforts, along with those of other employers' organizations, have often succeeded in removing unnecessary barriers to business and preventing the introduction of new regulations that may hinder enterprise growth. Górski gives examples of the organization's achievements, including legislative changes that have positively impacted the business environment. One notable instance occurred in 2018, when regulations were passed that shortened the basic storage period for certain records, aimed at alleviating bureaucratic burdens on businesses.
Górski calls for a continued and systematic approach to deregulation in Poland, emphasizing that ongoing collaboration between legal process participants and employer representatives is essential in fostering an entrepreneurial climate. By advocating for systemic changes and less red tape, the Confederation of Lewiatan aims to support Polish businesses in achieving sustainable growth and innovation in a competitive market.
