Different Flags... Same Colors 10 May 2006 The second edition of Austrian Companies in Poland by Rudolf Thaler, the commercial counselor at the Austrian Embassy, was published in Poland in December 2005.

Raise Your Glasses 10 May 2006 Austria's wine industry has undergone a highly impressive turnaround over the past two decades.

Roll Out the Welcome Wagon 14 April 2004 Actually it's more a welcome party, a symbolic gesture: Austria, Austrians, the Austrian business community is welcoming Poland, Poles and the Polish business community to the EU. It's a tradition to welcome a new family member and to celebrate this.
