During the talks held at the Port of Gdansk, Prime Minister Marcinkiewicz announced that within a month a vice-president responsible for the gas terminal would be appointed in the Polish Oil and Gas Company. His task will include the development of a reliable analysis regarding the location of this investment project. This will be determined - emphasized Kazimierz Marcinkiewicz - solely by economic conditions and safety reasons. According to the Prime Minister there is a good chance that, by September, all materials will have been compiled that will provide basis for making the decision.
