The Polish government is preparing a plan to privatize the Warsaw Stock Exchange by selling shares exclusively to Polish companies, possibly in defiance of European Union rules that require equal treatment for all members of the bloc. In a little-noticed speech filled with patriotic themes, the treasury minister, Wojciech Jasinski, outlined a strategy last month to sell 49 percent of the governmentâs holdings to âPolish investorsâ in blocks of 5 percent to 10 percent. The government also intends to introduce rules to prevent companies listed on the exchange from being taken over by foreign companies to ensure that the exchange retains its Polish character, Mr. Jasinski said. The plan appears ripe for a conflict with European Union rules, which require privatizations to be open to all union members. Catherine Bunyan, a spokeswoman for Charlie McCreevy, the union commissioner for the internal market, said Brussels was not aware of Warsawâs plans.
