ZPP submits its position on the proposed EU Programme for the Single Market and Customs 2028–2034 to the Polish Ministry of Technology and Development

The Union of Entrepreneurs and Employers (ZPP) has submitted its position on the European Commission’s proposal COM(2025) 590, establishing a new Programme for the Single Market and Customs for 2028–2034 to the Polish Ministry of Technology and Development. The initiative seeks to merge four existing EU instruments – the Single Market, Customs, Fiscalis (Taxation Cooperation), and EU Anti-Fraud Programme – into one coherent framework supporting competitiveness, trade, and enforcement across the Union.

In its feedback, ZPP welcomes the consolidation and highlights the Programme’s potential to strengthen the EU’s customs system, enhance cooperation, and accelerate digital transformation through initiatives such as the EU Customs Data Hub. The Programme must remain closely aligned with the ongoing Union Customs Code (UCC) reform to avoid duplication and ensure effective implementation.

ZPP’s position outlines key priorities for business, including digitalisation and interoperability, simplification for SMEs, proportional platform liability, and a harmonised approach to customs fees. We also call for dedicated EU funding to modernise Poland’s customs infrastructure and active involvement of Polish experts in shaping the EU Customs Authority and related governance structures.

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.
