- Efforts of money for airport expansion was accompanied Goleniów haste and confusion. So now the investment is at risk - set the "Voice". Shareholders are concerned about the harbor and demanded explanations.

It is a work worth 100 million. Yesterday we revealed that even three months after the start of construction, the contractor stopped the work.

The company Szczecin Airport Goleta does not have the money. Half of the investment would fund the European Union. But the Centre for EU Transport Projects zdyskwalifikowało part of the preparation of documentation. The point the environmental decision. We got to the person who knows the inside story of the project preparation. He says that when creating a rush and confusion reigned.

- The idea was good. The idea was to obtain money for the biggest ever investment in the airport. But because of the tight deadlines of the work was carried out in a huge hurry and mess. I suspect that risked sending the defective documentation, and counted on the fact that it can be challenged. It was a risk and, unfortunately, failed. Now, no one to blame will not admit - says our source requesting anonymity.

It was to be the largest investment in the history of the airport. Modernization of the 1800-meter runway, construction of an alternative route taxi and two parking spaces for aircraft and aircraft position for risk (eg terrorist attack), 50 kilometers of new power line.

Work began in April last year. Contractor had done seven percent of the investment and stopped after three months of work. It turned out that some things poorly designed, and the company has not received payment from the Centre for EU projects to pay the contractor.

August 17, 2010 a meeting was held at the Ministry of Infrastructure. The company's representatives told that they must stop work, because there are errors in the documentation. What was needed was a new environmental approval.

- Again, was released in April 2011 and became final in May 2011. Already been transferred to CUPT along with a new request for funding for the project. At present, airport waiting for permission CUPT as to further continue the construction work. If we had not stopped work, we would have to cover them from its own resources. And we can not afford it - says Christopher Domagalski, the company's proxy Szczecin Airport Goleta.

Nobody knows when CUPT and decide whether it will be positive. Shareholders are concerned about: the city of Szczecin, Goleta, the provincial government. They fear that we will not get financing, or we will have to return it.

- The situation of the airport in Goleniów we are concerned for a long time, not only as a shareholder, but also on the ground that it is difficult to imagine the development of the region without a regional airport. In the last period
it seems that this task slightly exceeded the investment company's financial capabilities. The case is so complicated that not only have to overcome the difficulties in obtaining funds, but also
fit within the permissible limits of state aid - says Olgierd Geblewicz,
Marshal of West Pomerania.

- Ongoing consultation with shareholders. Concern also plan for financing investments. We realize that the project is complicated. We expect that it will be brought to an end - says Piotr Krzystek turn, President of Szczecin.

Company management also optimistic approach to the case.

- Activities that we do not carry the risk of loss to obtain funding from the EU, as this task must be completed and cleared by April 2015 - added Christopher Domagalski.
