【禁闻】波兰处罚中海外公司 中共受挫

【新唐人2011年6月18日讯】海外媒体近日报导了「中国海外工程有限责任公司」在波
兰因为拖欠工资、货款和租金,被波兰政府终止了合同,并施以巨额罚款。「中海外公
司」为什么能投标成功却施工不利呢?这个中国国内著名的大型企业,在非洲的投
资,也有高达百分之七十的不良记录。而波兰媒体质疑「中海外」是否采取"低价格"的
策略来赢得竞标。请看本台记者张茜从波兰发来的报导。

波兰国际公路和高速公路局副局长马切耶屋斯基(Maciejewski)6月13号公布:中国海
外工程有限责任公司,上周向波兰政府提出的修建A2高速公路修正案,违反合同,因此
决定终止合同,并对中海外公司罚款2.7亿美元。

2009年,中国海外工程有限责任公司以低于波兰政府预算接近一半的金额,承揽了波兰
华沙至德国柏林的A2高速公路中的两段。这条高速公路是波兰为2012年春主办欧洲�足
球锦标赛而修建的,为提供西欧民众前往波兰观赛,是波兰最高等级的公路专案。

今年(2011年),中国工人开始�入波兰施工。中海外公司在施工过程中,将机械施工
设备和操作部分转租给波兰分包商,但是因为拖欠工人工资、设备租金和原材料货款多
达33万美元。从5月18号起,波兰分包商罢工并举行抗议活动。

中海外公司在波兰拖欠工资、货款和租金,导致工程停工,这引起波兰全国震动。波兰
总理图斯克同意采取强硬措施,以防中海外公司敲诈。

波兰总理图斯克说: "如果有人想要在波兰建造公路和体育馆,要嘛他们完工,要嘛就
付罚款"。

波兰"法律正义党"6月8号向华沙检察院提交一份报告,报告指出:选择中国公司本身就
是有可能面对"滥用权力,不负责任,损害公众利益,损害国家财政"的风险。

波兰媒体曝光,中海外即便在波兰,也不是第一次延误工程、违反合同了。他们三年
前,承建波兰的克拉科夫格鲁玛达(Gromada)酒店,按合同一年前就应该建好,可直
到现在都没有完工。格鲁玛达酒店不得不取消今年(2011年)9月和10月的多个定单。

酒店老板布朗斯基透露,中海外最大的问题是�口没有检验许可的建筑材料,他们为了
降低费用,就从建筑材料上降低品质要求。

中海外的事情公开以后,波兰媒体纷纷质疑中海外是否采取"低价格"的策略来赢得竞
标。从媒体公开的各承包公司每公里的价格上来看,中海外投标的报价比其他公司少了
三分之一到一半。

6月8号,波兰《选举报》更是公布了南非智库对中海外公司的一份调查报告。报告显
示,中海外在非洲的投资,高达百分之七十是不良记录。在安哥拉,中海外公司承建的
一所医院,在完工后几个月就发生了倒塌;在肯亚,中海外修建的一个机场整整晚了一
年才交工。报告指出,中海外投标成功得益于低价格和中共当局的财政支持,但低价格
导致低品质的工程。

「中国海外工程有限责任公司」原名「中国海外工程总公司」,1991年成立,原属对外
贸易经济合作部。2003年底,经中共国务院批准,成为中国铁路工程总公司全资子公
司。

波兰《法律报》评论指出,中海外公司是中共当局加强经济影响力的工具,投资是按地
缘政治的需求而决定的。在安哥拉,中共需要购买那里的能源和资源;南非是中共政府
在非洲最重要的交易伙伴;在欧洲,中共�入欧洲门户波兰时,是以「中海外公司」的
低成本为杀手�。报导说,但他们在工程中常常拖欠工资和租金,这在波兰根本是行不
通的。

现在波兰民众普遍担心,明年是否能如期举办欧洲�足球锦标赛。

Chinese Firm Penalized in Poland

The China Overseas Engineering Group Co. (COVEC)contract was terminated by
the Polish Governmentfor failure to pay wages, debts, and rent.It was also
ordered to pay a hefty fine.Why did COVEC win the bid but failed in the
end?Its construction materials are made in Africa and itsclient
dissatisfaction rate in Africa is about 70 percent.Polish media questions
whether COVEC usesa "low price" strategy to win bids.Here is the story by
NTD's Zhang Qian in Poland.

Poland International Roads and Highways DepartmentDeputy Head, Maciejewski,
announced on June 13 thatCOVEC's amendment proposal submitted last
week,regarding A2 Highway construction, had breached thecontract. So, the
Polish government decided toterminate COVEC's contract, and fine it $270
million.

In 2009, COVEC won the contract to construct twosegments of A2 Highway from
Warsaw to Berlin.for the European Cup soccer tournament scheduledto take
place in Poland in the spring of 2012.Thus, the road project is extremely
important.COVEC's bid was less than half of the original budget.

In 2011, Chinese workers began construction.Polish subcontractors were
hired to operate machines.However, since COVEC failed to pay workers'
wages,equipment rental fees, and material costs totaling$33 million, since
May 18, Polish sub-contractorswent on strike.

The project's suspension, caused by COVEC's failureto pay wages, debts, and
rentals, has shocked Poland.Polish Prime Minister Donald Tusk agreed to
take toughmeasures to deal with COVEC.

Polish Prime Minister Donald Tusk:"If people want to build roads and
stadiums in Poland,they either have to do it perfectly or pay the penalty."

Poland Law and Justice Party submitted a reporton June 8 to Warsaw
Procuratorate. It said thatselecting a Chinese company is taking a risk as
theyoften "abuse power and damage public interest."

Polish media exposed that this is not the first timethat COVEC breached a
contract in Poland.COVEC signed a contract three years ago to havethe
Gromada Hotel in Krakow completed a year ago,however, the hotel has yet to
be completed.Gromada had to cancel many room bookings.

The hotel owner said that COVEC's biggest problemis importing materials
without inspection permits.In order to reduce costs, COVEC lowersthe
quality of the building materials it uses.

Polish media questions whether COVEC is usinga "low price" strategy to win
bids.A review of the bidding prices published by the mediashows that
COVEC's price is usually 1/3 to1/2 ofthe prices proposed by other companies.

On June 8, Polish newspaper, Gazeta Wyborcza,published a report by a South
African think-tank.It said that 70 percent of COVEC construction projectsin
Africa have left its clients very disappointed.In Angola, a hospital built
by COVEC collapsedonly a few months after its completion. In Kenya,the
construction of an airport was delayed by a year.The report said, COVEC's
bidding success is due tolow prices and Chinese authorities' financial
support.However, its low prices lead to low quality projects.

COVEC was established in 1991, under Ministry ofForeign Economic Relations
and Trade Cooperation.In 2003, with the State Council's approval,it became
a wholly owned subsidiary ofChina Railway Engineering Corporation.

Polish newspaper, The Law, commented thatCOVEC is a tool of the Chinese
authoritiesto enhance their economic influence.The firm's operation is
based on geopolitical needs.In Angola, China wants to buy energy and
resources.South Africa is China's most important trading partner.In Europe,
COVEC used low costs to enter the market.However, COVEC often fails to pay
wages and rents.This is unacceptable in Poland.

Polish citizens are now worried whether theEuropean Cup will be held in
2012, as scheduled.
