The new version of dobry.biz – the platform for aid and cooperation for members of the Union of Entrepreneurs and Empl...

Thus far, an effective programme that would significantly contribute to supporting the SME sector in Poland has not been implemented yet. Over the last two years, we have been closely monitoring what is happening on the market, fully aware of the fact that dobry.biz must evolve. We have browsed dozens of portals and websites, learnt from our mistakes, and listened to our members. This way, we created dobry.biz anew with the following in mind…

Commentary of the Union of Entrepreneurs and Employers on Ursula von der Leyen’s State of the Union Address

The State of the Union Address touched upon key issues that will shape our reality in the years to come. The fact that the President of the European Commission, Ursula von der Leyen, noticed the problems of the internal market and proposed the creation of a new strategy for the Schengen Area, which will undoubtedly improve the quality of the regulatory environment for entrepreneurs, should be assessed positively. Nevertheless, the introduction of a European minimum wage or the excessively rapid increase in climate goals may adversely affect the condition of the Polish economy and the competitiveness of European industry…

Position of the Union of Entrepreneurs and Employers on the Polish nuclear power programme

Nuclear energy is considered to be a promising branch of the entire global energy sector. Changing technological solutions constitute in this regard an important issue.

Appeal of the Union of Entrepreneurs and Employers regarding the pay rises of persons holding public office

The Union of Entrepreneurs and Employers believes that increasing the salaries of persons performing public functions serves the public interest. The imbalance between the remuneration received and the scale of responsibility is particularly visible in the case of deputy ministers. With this in mind, we appeal to the members of the Sejm of the Republic of Poland (Parliament’s lower house) not to succumb to populist pressure and to reject the veto of the Senate (Parliament’s upper house) regarding the draft act increasing the salaries of people holding public office, and then to immediately amend that act, correcting some of the errors within.
