Polish minister says new mobility package harmful for post-pandemic EU

The final adoption of the controversial mobility package by the European Parliament is harmful for the climate, transport and economic recovery in the EU following the coronavirus pandemic, Infrastructure Minister Andrzej Adamczyk said on Thursday. The EP has finally approved the controversial EU mobility package, amid protests from Poland and other eastern EU member states. Adamczyk said the rules undermined the price advantage of Polish transport firms by raising their labour costs through the application of European posted worker regulations.
