Danish director advisor to the Polish Deputy Prime Minister

The Polish Deputy Prime Minister, Waldemar Pawlak, has appointed a group of foreign advisors, one of whom is NIRAS’ international director Karol Marcinkowski.

- I am glad that you have accepted the invitation to cooperate. I also expect that, as a group, we will contribute to the development of the contact between Poland and the countries in which you live and do business. In times of crisis, it is important to make contact with new trade partners, said Deputy Prime Minister and Minister for Trade and Economy Waldemar Pawlak when he officially presented the nominations to the members of the Minister for Trade and Economy’s foreign advisory board on 16 January 2009 in Warsaw.

The Minister for Trade and Economy appoints the foreign advisory board for a 3-year period. Individual advisors may be nominated for more than one period. The position of foreign advisor is an honorary post. The task of the Minister for Trade and Economy’s foreign advisors is, among other things, to cooperate with the Ministry:

in creating a legal framework that is beneficial to the business community,
in monitoring markets, information about commercial development and investment opportunities,
by participating actively in issues of benefit to the Polish business community,
in connection with the development of Poland’s economic strategy,
in providing support and organisational assistance in connection with trade fairs, commercial delegations and campaigns,
in providing information about emerging threats to Polish commercial interests and Polish enterprises in the advisor’s country of residence.

The advisory board is made up of recipients of the Eugeniusz Kwiatkowski award “for outstanding contributions to the development of the commercial cooperation between expatriate Poles and their native country”. This prize is awarded to business leaders who have achieved commercial and financial success in their adoptive countries, have knowledge of the economic conditions and current legislation and have a broad business network.
