Poland cuts red tape to spur growth

Poland’s slowing growth pushed its government to hack away at the red tape that made central Europe’s largest economy one of the EU’s most rule-bound.

The Polish cabinet approved a measure in September that will deregulate 50 professions – ranging from taxi drivers to tour guides, real estate agents, lawyers and notaries. The Parliament was expected to start considering the 256-page bill in October 2012.
