PKN ORLEN has transferred fuel cards worth almost PLN 1m to support the Polish Presidency of the Council of the European Union.

On June 8th 2011, the official transfer of TANKBANK pre-paid fuel cards took place under an agreement concluded between PKN ORLEN and the Polish Ministry of Foreign Affairs. The cards will enable free-of-charge refuelling of the car fleet which will serve the participants of meetings and conferences held as part of the Polish Presidency, commencing on July 1st 2011.

PKN ORLEN's bid was selected in an open tender process. The cooperation proposal submitted by PKN ORLEN was appreciated because of the guaranteed highest quality of service and its comprehensive character.

Thanks to the agreement, PKN ORLEN has joined the exclusive group of partner companies engaged in the organisation of the Polish Presidency of the Council of the European Union. In return for its support, PKN ORLEN has received the prestigious title of Presidency Partner.

PKN ORLEN, as the largest Polish company and an enterprise operating on several EU markets, has for many years been involved in key activities and projects designed to foster a positive image of Poland. PKN ORLEN's engagement in projects related to the upcoming EU Presidency is a natural consequence of its earlier activities.
