Poland's free tap water bill killed by restaurant and drinks industry lobbying

A bill proposed by left-wing MPs that would have required Polish restaurants to provide free tap water on request was rejected in parliament, reportedly after heavy lobbying by the restaurant sector and soft-drink producers who feared a hit to bottled-beverage profits. Journalist Marek Czarkowski writes in Tygodnik Przegląd that the quality of tap water in Poland varies significantly by region. The failed bill has reignited debate about consumers' access to free drinking water in hospitality venues.
