Z powodu braku przejrzystego prawa branża recyklingu odkłada inwestycje. Firmy apelują o szybkie wdrożenie przepisów

Branża recyklingu stoi przed wyzwaniami związanymi z wdrożeniem systemu kaucyjnego, systemu rozszerzonej odpowiedzialności producenta i rozporządzenia PPWR. Brakuje jednak odpowiednich przepisów dostosowujących polskie prawo i realia do unijnych regulacji. W efekcie utrzymującej się niepewności prawnej między 2018 a 2023 rokiem co trzeci zakład recyklingu zamknął działalność. Wiele firm odkłada inwestycje, czekając na uregulowanie rynku. Podobna niepewność dotyczy też producentów opakowań. 

Transport

Testowanie pojazdów zautomatyzowanych wkrótce będzie możliwe. To odpowiedź na postulaty przedsiębiorców

Kończą się prace nad przepisami, które mają usprawnić prace badawcze nad pojazdami zautomatyzowanymi. Ma to być odpowiedź na postulaty przedsiębiorców, którzy wskazywali na potrzebę pilnej zmiany przepisów w zakresie testowania pojazdów autonomicznych. Obecne regulacje nie sprzyjają postępowi technologicznemu i rozwoju autonomiczności pojazdów, o czym świadczy bardzo niewielka liczba wydanych uprawnień do ich prowadzenia.

Przedsiębiorcom coraz bardziej doskwiera niestabilność i skomplikowanie przepisów podatkowych. Problemem są też niejasne ich interpretacje

Polscy przedsiębiorcy często negatywnie oceniają jakość przepisów podatkowych – wynika z raportu „Przedsiębiorcy pod lupą fiskusa 2025” przygotowanego przez firmę doradztwa podatkowego MDDP we współpracy z Konfederacją Lewiatan. Ich niepokój budzą niejednolite interpretacje przepisów i niepewność prawa podatkowego, które cały czas jest modyfikowane. Wśród kluczowych zmian w obszarze podatków, które będą dotyczyć praktycznie wszystkich przedsiębiorców, są m.in. wprowadzenie Krajowego Systemu e-Faktur czy zmiany w podatku od nieruchomości.
