“Looking at the area, we have over 50 percent purchased land for future airport. For the owners of these 45 percent land for the airport we have prepared amendment to the CPK Act” – said the Government Plenipotentiary for CPK and Deputy Minister of Infrastructure Maciej Lasek.

The rest of the article under video material:
“The law we prepared meets the expectations of property owners who have not joined the voluntary program to buy. We realize their postulates. These people were most afraid that in the process of expropriation they would be waiting for compensation for years, and We want to suggest, however, that before they spend their property, they will get 85 percent. advances of compensation determined by the voivode. Will they win more in court? This will of course depend on their arguments” – said Lasek.
He added that when the location decision became final, CPK becomes the owner of the land and the expropriation process occurs.
The novella also assumes regulations improving the investment process. CPK will be able to start preparations for construction works earlier, primarily in the field of administrative arrangements. It comes, among others for obtaining necessary documents, including building permits.
The representative emphasized that the applicable CPK Act does not regulate what the expropriation procedure for the future airport should look like.

“It is known that expropriation is always the biggest problem of every public purpose investment. We have prepared a bill, where we are specified in this process, and at the same time we offer regulations that are beneficial for people from the areas of future investment as well as for CPK” – explained Maciej Lasek.
The voluntary program to be purchased at CPK
He added that the company has worked over the past year to take over as many real estate as possible for the construction of CPK under the voluntary program to buy.
“We have a lot of success. The program enjoyed a lot of interest. We have acquired almost 95 percent of all inhabited real estate, built -up at the future airport. For me it is one of the most important things, because looking at it from such a universal point of view, people who lived there, arranged with the company, sold their real estate for the best offer that the company could have proposed. They got immediately, and the deadlines for leaving the property were half a year, and in one case even a year, “said Lasek.

He stipulated that this does not apply to all real estate.
“A small part of the owners decided that they prefer to wait for the expropriation procedure. This applies especially to arable field owners. There are still about 20 real estate in this area, where their owners have not signed arrangements with the company in terms of PDN. And for the sake of these people, we found that the act had to be changed to give them better conditions, “said the attorney.
