A year earlier, Italy was in third place with over PLN 3.9 million. However, companies from this country have repaid a large part of their debt and currently, it is over PLN 1 million left. Great Britain is just behind the top three, with UK companies owing to Poland over PLN 1.9 million. Belgian and Dutch companies owe over a million PLN, and Latvians are close to this amount.<\/p>\n
\u201cThere are currently 727 foreign companies in the National Debt Register (KRD) that have not paid their debts to Polish enterprises. Most, 83% of unreliable contractors are companies from the European Union with which Polish entrepreneurs do the most business. However, there are also quite exotic cases, such as debtors from S\u00e3o Tom\u00e9 and Pr\u00edncipe, Peru or New Zealand\u201d, says Adam \u0141\u0105cki, President of the KRD Management Board.<\/p>\n
The arrears of foreign entities reported in KRD may help other companies avoid cooperation with an unreliable contractor. However, still few companies decide to make such a move, because they do not know about such a possibility.<\/p>\n
