AHSTRACT lt is a widely held view m Poland that for centuries those in power have promoted heavy drinking among their subjects in order to achieve their various goab and that this contributed to the development of Polish drinking patter,1s There is some empirical evidence that the political economy of alcohol in Poland promoted heavy drinking among the Polish population Drinking alcohol in Poland was an important aspect of social situations The most popular beverage was vodka(s) Social pressure to drink in the extreme was attributed to the tradition of hospitality Cultural norms encouraged very heavy drinking among men and imposed heavv social sanctions on \\<'Omen who were supposed to display virtues of abstinence The typical model of drinking was intermittent very heavy drinking. leading to intoxication on most occasions These norm!- reinforcedthe notion that "we can drink more because we are Poles" and the view that safe drinking messages are designed for other nations because ··Poles are accustomed to drinking strong alcohol. unlike others.. Adult male informants reported drinking much less in Australia than in Poland The biggest change was a lack of social pressure to dnnk A.lthough men claimed that they drink less. some still drink in an unsafe manner These \\'ere largely those whose English skills restricted their employment and friendship networks. Women. on the other hand. admitted that in Australia thev drink more often and more alcohol at a ,;itting than in Poland Although informants did not mention any alcohol-related family problems in Australia. others reported alcohol­ related violence within some families Some safety messages about alcohol do not reach this sample of people Many view drink driving rules as purel�· revenue raisers forthe government. However. advice from their medical practitioners to reduce their alcohol intake for serious health reasons is given more credibility II Young Polish Australians formed two groups in their attitude to drinking The first group consisted of people who attended tertiary educational institutions and consumed alcohol in a similar fashion to other Australian students It is likely that the university environment influenced their drinking patterns Those who witnessed drinking at home and perceived it as a good thing, modelled their drinking on their parents' and other adults at home Others. who perceived their parents as non­ drinkers, learned to drink from their friends and displayed similar drinking patterns to their peers The second group was older. some were in the workforce and manifested drinking patterns akin to those in the general Australian population in the same age bracket Both groups of these young Polish Australians were much more aware of alcohol health messages and more likely to modify their behaviours such as not to drink and drive. than was the older population However. other drinlcing­ related health warnings were largely disregarded This research demonstrates the negative impact of reduced government funding for English programs and ethno-specific services for migrant groups More research is needed on migrant drinking in Australia. specifically among those groups whose drinking continues to be problematic Ill DECLARATl()N I certify that this thesis does not. to the best of my knowledge and belief (i) incorporate without acknowledgement any material previously submitted for a degree or C1iploma in any institution of higher education.

    „W XX wieku powstały trzy rewelacyjne wynalazki: blues, kubizm i polska wódka.” Pablo Picasso “Blues, Cubism and Polish Vodka were the most astonishing inventions in the 20th century.” Pablo Picasso SzanoWni PańStWo Już od wieków przemysł spirytusowy pozostaje jedną z istotnych gałęzi polskiej gospodarki, zaś polska wódka – trunek silnie wpi- sany w narodową kulturę i historię – jest jego ikoną. Dzięki wielo- letniej tradycji produkcji przy wykorzystaniu wysokiej jakości natu- ralnych surowców, polskie wyroby spirytusowe zyskały wielbicieli na świecie, a Polska zaliczana jest do grona największych i najbar- dziej cenionych producentów wyrobów spirytusowych. Uważając polską wódkę za element dziedzictwa narodowego, zdecydowaliśmy się założyć Stowarzyszenie Polska Wódka. Głów- nym celem naszej organizacji jest wspieranie i ochrona wizerun- ku wyrobów spirytusowych produkowanych w Polsce, zarówno w kraju, jak i na świecie. za nieodłączny element działań w tym zakresie uważamy inicjatywy ukierunkowane na wzmacnianie kul- tury odpowiedzialnego spożywania wyrobów spirytusowych. Dla- tego, jako organizacja reprezentująca polski przemysł spirytuso- wy, będziemy promować inicjatywy, które wpisują się w ten nurt. Stowarzyszenie Polska Wódka pozostaje otwarte dla osób, firm i organizacji pragnących chronić tradycję oraz wartości związane z polskim przemysłem spirytusowym. Liczymy, że dzięki wspól- nym działaniom, uda nam się wpłynąć na pomyślną przyszłość polskiego przemysłu spirytusowego oraz budować poczucie dumy wynikające z jego wielowiekowej tradycji. Andrzej Szumowski Prezes zarządu DEAR ALL For centuries, the spirits industry has been one of the most important elements of the Polish economy and Polish vodka – a beverage stron- gly linked with culture and history – has been its icon. Thanks to a long lasting tradition of production, using high quality natural ingredients, Polish spirits products gained admirers from all over the world and Poland is considered to be one of the biggest and most respected spirits producers in the world.

  • Blackcurrant Berliner Weisse Beer Was Inaugurated in Poland in Mid-July
    Blackcurrant growers have started collaborating with craft brewers in Poland SALAMANDER Blackcurrant Berliner Weisse beer was inaugurated in Poland in mid-July. The beer is a mix of a traditional, historical style - a clear, acidic, light and refreshing Berliner Weisse, fermented with lactic acid bacteria, with an addition of blackcurrants. The beer is the outcome of collaboration between the National Blackcurrant Growers Association (KSPCP) and Browar Stu Mostów brewery. For the first time in Poland, the project joins the forces of a trade organization of producers and a craft brewery. The aim is to promote the potential of collaboration between brewers and growers. “This is a meeting of two powerful industries. Together we can do interesting things, make interesting beers that will delight gourmet palates in Poland and abroad. By joining forces, we can develop a product that nobody else can make” says Jakub Ośródek of the National Blackcurrant Growers Association. “In addition to the colour, the flavour and the aroma, blackcurrant also adds extra acidity. Beers of this kind are gaining popularity, with the Berliner Weisse style going through a real revival. This is a trend we should take advantage of” claims Mateusz Gulej, Chief Brewer of the Browar Stu Mostów brewery. “Talented brewers and competent fruit growers are already the trademark feature of Polish exports. Craft beer is a good partner for currants and berries” sums up Piotr Baryła, the President of the National Blackcurrant Growers Association. “There are already over 150 craft breweries in Poland, and soon there will be 200. Let's work together. Craft brewing needs top quality fruit and competence in the selection of varieties” say Arletta and Grzegorz Ziemian, founders of the first craft brewery in Wrocław for many years.

DOK3-421/3/06/MB DECYZJA nr DOK - 41/06 Na podstawie art. 19 ust. 1 w związku z art. 12 ust. 1 i ust. 2 pkt 2 ustawy z dnia 15 grudnia 2000 r. o ochronie konkurencji i konsumentów (tekst jedn. Dz. U. z 2005 r. Nr 244, poz. 2080), po przeprowadzeniu postępowania antymonopolowego z wniosku Carey Agri International Poland Sp. z o.o. z siedzibą w Warszawie, Prezes Urzędu Ochrony Konkurencji i Konsumentów zakazuje dokonania koncentracji, polegającej na przejęciu przez Carey Agri International Poland Sp. z o.o. z siedzibą w Warszawie kontroli nad Jabłonna S.A. z siedzibą w Lublinie. UZASADNIENIE W dniu 23 stycznia 2006 r. wpłynęło do Prezesa Urzędu Ochrony Konkurencji i Konsumentów, zwanego dalej „Prezesem Urzędu” lub „organem antymonopolowym”, zgłoszenie zamiaru koncentracji przedsiębiorców, polegającej na przejęciu przez Carey Agri International Poland Sp. z o.o. z siedzibą w Warszawie, zwaną dalej „Carey Agri”, kontroli nad Jabłonna S.A. z siedzibą w Lublinie, zwaną dalej „Jabłonna”. W związku z tym, iż: 1) spełnione zostały niezbędne przesłanki uzasadniające obowiązek zgłoszenia zamiaru koncentracji, bowiem: łączny obrót przedsiębiorców uczestniczących w koncentracji - w roku obrotowym poprzedzającym rok zgłoszenia zamiaru koncentracji – przekroczył wartość określoną w art. 12 ust. 1 ustawy z dnia 15 grudnia 2000 r. o ochronie konkurencji i konsumentów (tekst jedn. Dz. U. z 2005 r. Nr 244, poz. 2080), zwanej dalej „ustawą o ochronie konkurencji”, tj. równowartość 50 mln EURO, przejęcie kontroli nad spółką – poprzez nabycie akcji tej spółki, jest jednym ze sposobów koncentracji, określonych w art.
