The Polish government is expected to approved key assumptions to a long-awaited shale gas draft law today, hoping to provide a stable legal environment for investors interested in exploring the reserves.

RZECZPOSPOLITA reports that the total tax burden will not exceed 45 percent of the companies' income.

Last week, Deputy Minister of the Environment and the country's Chief Geologist Piotr Wozniak said in an interview with IAR that it’s important that the tax rates be openly cited so there’s no secret.

Since 2007, Poland has issued more than 110 shale gas exploration licenses, BUT has postponed the publication of a legal framework for the development of shale gas resources several times in the past few months. Experts estimate that the rapid development of shale gas production may require investment $ 4 billion per year.

The National Geological Institute (PIG) said Poland's shale gas deposits are the third largest in Europe after those of Norway and the Netherlands.

Today’s World Cup Qualifier Match with Poland vs England does not necessary as important to former polish soccer players

FAKT reports that for Jan Tomaszewski, today’s match Poland vs England,will be frustrating to watch when there are non-Polish players on the team.

Tomaszewski said that he will not come to a game until the Polish soccer team has only real Polish-born soccer players playing on the field. In such a big nation why don’t we opt for more boys from our country, he asks.

According to FAKT, Tomaszewski frustrations might lead the former Polish goalkeeper, nicknamed, "The Man That Stopped England,” to not even watch the televised broadcast of the game. Tomaszewski was awarded the best goalkeeper in the 1974 World Cup.

Tomaszewki goes on to say that after the embarrassment at the European Championships, this is the only game where you can regain the confidence of the public. The Polish Football Association must win today’s game, HOWEVER if the win is met by non-Poles, then it just has nothing to do with national pride.

After 37 years, a hospital in Lodz is still not ready to open it’s doors to potential patients due to a years of…. bad luck?

The Clinical and Educational Center part of the Medical University of Lodz is still unsuitable for use according to the article in GAZETA WYBORCZA.

The 17-story, blue building is situated on the eastern outskirts of Lodz. Financed from the state budge, the structure has certainly consumed a few hundred million zloty, some even say close to a billion. But really, no one is able to calculate, since the commencement of the project has been 37 years in the running, the paper reports.

GAZETA WYBORCZA writes that for decades, the hospital has seen its share of bad luck. First, in the 80s, the money allotted for this hospital ended up going to another one in town. In the 90s, the government decided to resuscitate the hospital. BUT when it found the money necessary to put down on the investment, the construction company that won the tender dropped out at the last minute.

Despite continuing problems plans to at least open 9 out of the 17 floors at the end of the first quart of 2013.

There will be additional advertising campaigns to encourage taxpayers to donate one percent of their taxes

Polish law has a provision that taxpayers can donate 1 percent of their annual income taxes to a listed institution or organization of public benefit of their choice.

DZIENNIK GAZETA PRAWNA has an article on how advertising campaigns, which capture the attention of the wider public to the cause they represent, are said to have consumed half of the donations they managed to collect.
