Brussels approved the SAFE agreement for Poland. “Task Accomplished”
The European Commission was the first to accept our SAFE loan agreement – confirms the head of the Ministry of National Defense, Władysław Kosiniak-Kamysz. The contract is to be signed on Friday.
On Tuesday evening, the Polish Press Agency (PAP) announced that the loan agreement under the SAFE program for Poland was the first to be approved by the European Commission and is ready for signature. The contract is to be signed on Friday in Warsaw. It will be signed by EU commissioners Piotr Serafin and Andrius Kubilius, as well as Deputy Prime Minister, Minister of National Defense Władysław Kosiniak-Kamysz and Minister of Finance and Economy Andrzej Domański. Then Serafin and Kubilius will go to Vilnius to sign a loan agreement with Lithuania.
The agency also reported that the written procedure among commissioners on the SAFE loan agreement for Poland was successfully completed on Monday. The content of the agreement negotiated between the European Commission and the Polish government has been accepted, including the decision to authorize Commissioners Kubilius and Serafin to sign the agreement with Poland.
SAFE for Poland. Kosiniak-Kamysz confirms
The head of the Ministry of National Defense confirmed the PAP reports. – The European Commission was the first to accept our SAFE loan agreement! We confirm our position as a security leader on the eastern flank. We are also the largest beneficiary of the program. SAFE means nearly PLN 190 billion for our army and our arms industry. The SAN program and the Monster from Tarnów, Piorun from Skarżysko Kamienna, or the Rescue Ship from PGZ Stocznia Wojenna in Gdynia and many, many more orders are getting closer! Signing the contract this Friday! – Kosiniak-Kamysz wrote on the X platform.
– Good news from Brussels! The Polish SAFE agreement was the first to be approved by the European Commission! Despite various difficulties, we are also at the finish line in Poland! We have the largest part of the entire pool (EUR 43.7 billion out of EUR 150 billion), the largest and, as it turns out, the best application. Task completed – wrote Magdalena Sobkowiak-Czarnecka, government representative for the SAFE program.
This is the first loan agreement under the SAFE program approved by the EC for any country. Other countries will soon undergo a similar procedure (Lithuania is already in the process, it is the second country in the process).
