    Union of Entrepreneurs and Employers has opened its Branch Office in Brussels

     

    ZPP opened its Branch Office in Brussels on 26 September 2017. Finally, Polish companies of the SME sector can directly monitor their situation in the EU and defend our interests. Polish entrepreneurs face very difficult time. Many changes occurr in the EU’s architecture, and new threats for Polish companies emerge.

    The celebration of opening was held in Sofitel Hotel at Place Jourdal. ZPP was represented by: Cezary Kaźmierczak, the president of ZPP, Marcin Nowacki, the vice-president of ZPP, and Agata Boutanos, the Head of the Branch Office of ZPP in Brussels. Among the invited guests, there were: Jarosław Starzyk, the Ambassador of the Republic of Poland to the European Union, and Zdzisław Krasnodębski, Member of the Parliament.

    The President of ZPP, Cezary Kaźmierczak noticed “During this time of profound structural changes and discussions over the future of the European market, including labour market, Polish entrepreneurs need to have their hands on in Brussels.”

    The main responsibility of the newly created office is to represent the interests of the sector of Polish enterprises. Influencing the shape of the European provisions at the stage of preliminary discussions and not, as it often happened in the past, after approving the stands of other countries should be the priority. ZPP also hopes for close cooperation with other foreign labour organisations in Brussels in order to build strong coalitions.

    Within the actions concerning the European Union, ZPP declares:

    • constant presence in the dialogue with the stakeholders of the decision-making process,
    • support of the ZPP members in fulfilling the European agenda,
    • long-lasting positioning and communication,
    • organisation of the dedicated events, debates and trainings.

    “Polish organisations become a constant element of our diplomacy in Brussels. We count on cooperation with ZPP”, said Jarosław Starzyk, the Ambassador of the Republic of Poland to the European Union.

    Small and medium companies have drawn the attention of Polish diplomats and Members of the European Parliament to the necessity of participating in the dialogue with European institutions more actively. Starting today, the Office will actively advocate wider consideration of Polish interests and of interests of Polish economy from the entrepreneurs’ perspective.

    As the MP Zdzisław Krasnodębski noticed: “Activity of Polish companies and entrepreneurs in Brussels is vital for building our position in the European Union.”

    Agata Boutanos, the Head of the Branch Office of ZPP in Brussels, declares being open to cooperation with all Polish companies and institutions which need support in the European forum.

    Open Letter on the Digital Omnibus Proposal

    On behalf of the undersigned organisations, we express our strong support for the direction the European Commission has taken with its “Digital Omnibus” package proposal. However, we must unequivocally state that its current scope remains insufficient. This initiative marks a promising and much-needed first step toward meaningful deregulation in Europe, but it stops short of the bold, pragmatic, and forward-looking measures required to unlock Europe’s digital potential and secure its long-term economic prosperity.

    ZPP Position on the EU Defence Industry Transformation Roadmap

    The European Commission presented its new European Defence Industry Transformation Roadmap, which seeks to apply lessons learned from the war in Ukraine for adapting Europe’s defence capabilities to the realities of modern warfare. While we believe some of the findings presented in the Roadmap to be of merit, we are concerned that it may reflect a shift away from established and proven defence industry actors, which could both reduce European preparedness in the face of ever-growing threats and undermine competitiveness.

    ZPP Position – The State of the Energy Union’s Need for Nuclear Considerations

    On 6 November 2025, the European Commission published the 2025 edition of its State of the Energy Union Report. While the Report gives an overview of the progress being made in achieving Europe’s energy targets and outlines the next steps needed, the Union of Entrepreneurs and Employers (ZPP) finds it sorely lacking in one field: nuclear energy.
