Fifty four years earlier, in 1945, with WW2 over, less than 60% of Ziemia Lubuska found itself again within the borders of Poland as part of the then Poznanskie Province. Five years later, in the wake of a national administrative reform, a new province was created, the Zielonogorskie, its area encompassing parts of Dolny Slask, Dolne Luzyce, Nowa Marchia, Zachodnia Wielkopolska, and a small portion of Ziemia Lubuska. In size and shape it reflected, by and large, the size and shape of today’s Lubuskie. In 1975 however the area was divided for almost 25 years to come between the Gorzowskie and Zielonogorskie Provinces. These were finally merged and the Lubuskie as we know it today was born at the th close of the 20 century. Area, population, religions, and administrative subdivisions: Area: 13 988 sq. kilometers (4.5 % of Poland’s territory), woodland: 49 %. Population: 1,010,047 residents (approx. 51% women, 49% men). Population density: 72 residents/sq. km (65% in cities, 35% in the country). Nationalities: Poles: almost 1 million; other nationalities: Romany, German, Ukrainian, Russian and French. Over 910,000 residents declare affiliation with the Roman Catholic Church, 41,800 with the Greek Orthodox Church, and 5,500 with the Protestant Church. There are two capital cities in the Province: - Gorzow Wielkopolski, where the Office of the Governor of the Lubuskie Province is located (representing the central government administration), - Zielona Gora, where the Office of the Marshall of the Lubuskie Province is located (representing local government administration). 6 County (or:poviat) Population Population total per 1 km² 1 214 67 726 56 139 125 1 391 56 134 40 138 761 1 388 58 202 42 77 073 771 87 013 113 99 929 999 46 484 46 124 786 1 248 49 792 40 Sulecinski 117 780 1 178 35 513 30 Swiebodzinski 93 657 937 56 028 60 Wschowski 62 420 624 39 111 63 Zielonogorski 156 972 1 569 91 866 58 113 178 1 132 81 566 72 139 278 1 393 98 317 71 572 86 125 408 1463 5 834 58 117 545 2014 Krosnienski Miedzyrzecki Nowosolski Slubicki StrzeleckoDrezdenecki Zaganski Zarski Gorzow Wielkopolski 1 (c.w.p.s .)

It generates 2.4% of Poland’s GDP and its well-developed business environment network effectively supports the growth of local economy. The province’s two largest cities, Gorzow Wielkopolski and Zielona Gora, are home to banks, insurance companies, and governmental institutions, being at the same time the region’s busiest industrial centers. The Lubuskie Province has successfully created an environment friendly to foreign entrepreneurs, with the largest foreign capital investments to date including: - Kostrzyn Paper S.A. in Kostrzyn (Trebruk AG, Sweden) – a paper mill, - SE Bordnetze Sp. z o.o.(former Volkswagen Elektro-Systemy Sp. z o.o.) in Gorzow Wielkopolski (Volkswagen, Germany) – a manufacturer of wire bundles for Volkswagen cars; - Zaklady Farmaceutyczne Biowet in Gorzow Wielkopolski (Asklia AG, Switzerland) – a producer of veterinary medications, - Swedwood, part of IKEA (Sweden) – furniture factories in Zbaszynek and Babimost, - Kronopol Sp. z o.o. in Zary (Kronospan AG, Switzerland) – a chipboard manufacturer, - Rockwool Polska Sp. z o.o. in Cigacice (Rockwool, Denmark) a mineral wool factory, - Steinpol in Zielona Gora (the Bruno Steinhoff Group, Germany) – a furniture factory in Zielona Gora, - Stilon S.A. in Gorzow Wielkopolski (the Rhodia Group – a French pharmaceutical and chemical corporation, Rhône-Poulenc) – a highly 15 processed chemical products manufacturing facility, - Podravka Polska Sp. z o.o. in Kostrzyn (Podravka, Croatia) – a food industry factory. Over the years these companies have grown well, substantially contributing to the region’s foreign trade dynamics. The province’s largest foreign trade partner is Germany, whose market absorbs nearly 70% of goods produced and services provided by the local industry. The next in line is Italy (4.1%), Holland (3.5%), and Denmark (3.3%). As for the region’s imports, Germany is also the province’s leading customer (over 50% of sales). Of the other trade partners, Italy comes in second with 7.4%, followed by Denmark (4.2%), and the Czech Republic (3.3%). Foreign capital investments have been an important stimulus to economic growth in the region, helping to promote modern production technologies and sharpen the competitive edge of local enterprises. This would hardly be possible without a continued assistance and support offered to domestic and foreign businesses by the Kostrzyn-Slubice Special Economic Zone, one of the largest and fastest growing Polish special economic zones, both in terms of area and finances. 16 Industry The main industries in the Province are: food industry, timber industry, construction industry, chemical industry, cellulose-and-paper industry, furniture industry, oil-and gas industry, engineering industry, and electronic industry. 18.2% of the Province’s overall industrial production is food and beverages, 18.3% is wood products and furniture. 30% of flooring and 19% of footwear produced in Poland comes from the Lubuskie Province. Tourism Ziemia Lubuska is one of the most beautiful regions in Western Poland, with two hundred lakes, pristine pine forests, gently undulating hills and picturesque valleys. Woodland covers nearly 50% of its area, while the abundance of wildlife, mildness of the climate, multitude of tourist sights, and affordable accommodation encourage visitors to embark upon a variety of available recreational and leisure pursuits. The Lubuskie Province has equally much to offer both to those who prefer a relaxing atmosphere of a quiet hotel or pension, and those who would rather explore local attractions on foot, bike, or horseback. 17 POLITICAL SITUATION 18 The Governor (or: ‘voyevoda’) – an official who represents the Central Government in the province and is responsible for the implementation of Central Government’s policies in the region.

POWIAT GORZOWSKI POWIAT MIĘDZYRZECKI POWIAT SŁUBICKI POWIAT SULĘCIŃSKI POWIAT ŚWIEBODZIŃSKI POWIAT KROŚNIEŃSKI POWIAT ZIELONOGÓRSKI Zielona Góra POWIAT WSCHOWSKI POWIAT NOWOSOLSKI POWIAT ŻARSKI POWIAT ŻAGAŃSKI 26 A Polish province (or ‘voyevoodstvo’ [Pol.: ‘wojewodztwo’]) is the largest unit of the three-tiered local government in Poland. Its powers do not infringe upon the self-governance of the other two units of local government, i.e. the county (or: the poviat) and the commune (or: the gmina). Provincial authorities do not exercise supervisory or controlling functions over counties and communes, nor do they operate as appellate authorities in administrative proceedings involving any of the other two types of administrative division units. The local government of a province is responsible for implementation of any public tasks of regional dimensions which the national parliament has not set asisde for the Central Government to perform, i.e. public education (university education included), health care, cultural development and protection of the cultural heritage, welfare, modernization of rural areas, land use planning, protection of the natural environment, water resources management, public roads and transportation, protection of consumers’ rights, national defense, physical education and tourism. Based on authorization awarded to it by the national parliament, the local government of a province can enact regulations that become local law in the province. From the administrative division’s point of view, the Lubuskie Province is made up of: - 83 communes (or: gminas), 9 of which are municipal communes, 41 rural communes, and 33 municipal-and-rural communes, - 12 counties (or: poviats), and 2 cities with a status of a county (or: poviat status), - 42 towns and 1 529 villages. Governing bodies in a province: THE PROVINCE ASSEMBLY: the legislative and supervisory authority in the province. Its members are councilmen and councilwomen elected in a direct vote for a 4-year term of office, who then choose from among themselves a province marshal and, upon his request approved with an absolute majority of votes, a province executive board. The Province Assembly exercises a supervisory 27 authority over both the Province Executive Board and the local government organizational units operating in the province. THE PROVINCE EXECUTIVE BOARD: the executive authority in the province, made up of a province marshal, who chairs the board, a lieutenant province marshal, and four other members. During his or her term on the Province Executive Board no member can simultaneously perform a function in communal, county, or national administration, or be a member of the lower chamber of the national parliament or a senator. The Province Executive Board executes resolutions adopted by the Province Assembly, manages the province’s assets, drafts and implements the province’s budget, and prepares and implements the province’s development strategies, land use plans, and regional programs. The board also runs day-to-day policy of the province and signs international agreements with foreign local government authorities and international regional associations; it also guides, coordinates, and supervises local government organizational units in the province. The Office of the Province Marshall (or: Urzad Marszalkowski): ul. Podgorna 7, 65-057 Zielona Gora tel. (68) 456-52-74, fax. (68) 456-53-86 www.lubuskie.pl The structure and administrative powers of a county (or: a poviat): By law, residents of a county (or: a poviat) form a local, territorial selfgoverning community. A county has a legal personality and as a unit of administrative division of the province encompasses either several neighboring communes or a single city or town which enjoys the status of a county. A county is responsible for implementation of public tasks that go beyond the boundaries of individual communes, such as, for example: public education, health care, welfare, assistance to the disabled members of the community, transportation, public roads, culture and protection of the cultural heritage, physical education and tourism, geodesy, cartography and cadastre, real estate management, land use planning and construction supervision, water resources management, protection of the 28 natural environment, agriculture, forestry, inland fishing, public order and safety, flood prevention, fire protection, prevention of other life and health hazards, activation of the local employment market and counteracting unemployment. The responsibilities of a county cannot infringe upon responsibilities resting with the communes although the county can, in response to a legitimate request from a commune, delegate responsibilities to it. Likewise, a county can, based on an agreement with the central government administration, take over public tasks from it. Governing bodies in a county: THE COUNTY COUNCIL: the legislative and supervisory authority in a county with a four-year term of office. Council members are chosen in a direct election. The council’s powers include: enacting local laws, appointing and dismissing the County’s Executive Board, outlining policies for the County’s Executive Board to follow, reviewing reports submitted to it by the County’s Executive Board, adopting the county’s budget, reviewing the annual report on budget performance and approving or refusing to approve the annual performance of duties by the County’s Executive Board, adopting resolutions in matters concerning the financial assets of the county (real estate, bonds, loans, investment projects, repair work). THE COUNTY’S EXECUTIVE BOARD: the executive authority in a county made up of: Head of the County (or: ‘starosta’), Deputy Head of the County, and board members.

Natural hazards include: - fires, floods, epidemics among humans and animals, large-scale pest attacks; - abnormal weather conditions such as gales, hurricanes, violent rainfall, and draught. 52 Potential locations of large-area forest fires: 53 With over 49% of its countryside covered by woodland, the Lubuskie Province is the most forested region in Poland. Its relatively large woods include the Notecka Forest, the Rzepinska Forest, and, the biggest unbroken stretch of woodland in the country, the Dolnoslaskie Woods, spreading across three regions: the Legnicka, Zielonogorska, and Jeleniogorska regions. 54 Flood-prone areas: 55 The entirety of a well-developed waterways network lies in the basin of the Odra River. Over 700 kilometers of the Odra’s tributaries pose a flood hazard, among these the most critical being: - the Odra itself (208.6 km within the administrative limits of the Province); - the Warta (137 km); - the Nysa Luzycka (117.2 km); - the Lubsza (66.4 km); - the Notec (46.3 km); - the Kwisa (17 km). Along 22 rivers and canals run levies of a total length of 815,848 km. They protect from flood 129.9 thousand hectares of land, including 17 cities and towns, and 287 villages. 56 Civilizational hazards include: - large-risk and heightened-risk production facilities which either store or use toxic substances in their technological processes; - road and railway hazardous cargo traffic; - oil and gas pipelines; - nuclear power plants near Poland’s borders; - construction and engineering disasters; - failure of public infrastructure; - violations of public order; - acts of terror; - munitions and exlposives 57 Large-risk and heightened-risk production facilities: 58 Some production facilities located in the Lubuskie Province use toxic industrial substances (or: TIS) in their technological processes, which poses a threat of a major industrial disaster. Large-risk facilities: - Shell’s Liquid Gas Distribution Plant (Rozlewnia Gazu Płynnego "Shell Gas„) in Nowa Niedrzwica, the Przytoczna Commune (propane-butane), - Rockwool Polska in Cigacice; (formalin, phenol, ammonia, impregnating oil, liquid oxigen), - Kronopol in Zary; (methanol, formalin), - ORLEN GAZ Sp. z o.o. in Krosno Odrzanskie (propane-butane, propane) Heightened-risk facilities: - Orlen’s Fuel Warehousing Facility (Baza Magazynowa Nr 93 PKN ORLEN) in Nowa Sol (fuels), - PW JERSAK in Zagan (propane-butane). 59 Roads with highest intensity of hazardous-cargo traffic: The Province’s highway network is made up of national, regional, and local category roads, including transit routes from Moscow to Berlin (Road 2) and from Scandinavia to the Adriatic Sea (Road 3). These are most frequently used by traffic carrying hazardous materials. 60 Although most of the hazardous cargoes are transported along the Province’s major cross-regional roads, i.e.: - Szczecin – Gorzow Wielkopolski - Zielona Gora – Wroclaw, - Swiecko – Gorzow Wielkopolski – Gdansk, - Swiecko – Swiebodzin – Zielona Gora – Legnica. fuels and industrial materials carried along minor roads to supply local filling stations and production plants pose no lesser a risk (explosion, leakage) to the local residents and the environment. Due to the Province’s proximity to the border with Germany, large quantities of hazardous materials of various hazard classes are transported across its territory on a daily basis, 60% of them ranking Class 2 and 3, i.e. gases and flammable liquids (for example petrol, fuel oil, propanebutane). 61 Railway routes with highest intensity of hazardous material traffic: 62 Several major railway routes cross the Lubuskie Province, for example the Odra River Coal Trail connecting Silesia in the south with the Baltic Sea ports in Szczecin up north, and the Warsaw-Poznan-Berlin Railway Route, going through large railway junctions in Czerwiensk, Rzepin, Zbaszynek and Zagan. The following four are the busiest hazardous-cargo routes: (a) Wroclaw - Nowa Sol - Zielona Gora - Rzepin - Szczecin, (b) Zasieki Zary – Zagan - Malomice, (c) Kostrzyn - Gorzow Wielkopolski - Krzyz Poznan, (d) Poznan - Krzyz – Szczecin, carrying chiefly Class 2 and 3 materials, i.e. gases and flammable liquids (petrol, fuel oil, and propanebutane). Properly secured radioactive materials are transported either by railway or by sea. 63 Oil and gas pipelines: 64 Through the Lubuskie Province, extending from Poland’s border with Belarus in the east, and running across the entire country on into Germany, are the four-thousand-kilometer ‘Yamal-Western Europe’ Gas Pipeline and the impressive nine-thousand kilometer ‘Friendship’ Oil Pipeline. These along with a well-developed infrastructure of local and transit gas pipelines pose a potential threat of spillage, leakage, and explosion, which is additionally aggravated by the fact that in most instances the pipes run through woodland where any emergency or rescue operation would be exceedingly difficult. 65 Nuclear power plants near Poland: Although Poland does not have nuclear power plants, there are 10 fully operational facilities of that kind within a 300-kilometer zone round the country (27 power blocks), generating between 440 and 1 500 MW. 66 At the moment, there are 437 nuclear reactors in 31 countries across the globe capable of producing a total of 370 GW. The only working reactor in Poland is the ‘Maria’ research reactor, currently operated by the Atomic Energy Institute in Swierk, and used to irradiate target materials in the production of radioactive preparations for physical tests. ‘Maria’ has a thermal power of 30 MW. Ever since the Czernobyl accident in 1986, the Polish general public’s main concern has been a threat of a similar disaster happening in any of the neighboring countries. This fear has recently been heightened by the Fukushima meltdown. On the hand, there is no danger to allied forces in the Lubuskie Province from terrorist groups, sabotage groups, or organized crime groups. 67 HNS (Host Nation Support): Under the Polish law, provision of host nation support to allied forces is the responsibility of the Polish Government. The Governor of the Lubuskie Province being the Government’s representative coordinates HNS efforts in the province. To that end, the Governor collaborates closely with the local and national military administrations, i.e.: the Regional Military Command, the Silesian Armed Forces District, and the General Staff of the Polish Armed Forces. He has also set up HNS contact points in every commune and county office across the province. Additional HNS contact points have been established in selected institutions, which include: - the Office of the Governor of the Lubuskie Province in Gorzow Wielkopolski, - the Regional Police Headquarters in Gorzow Wielkopolski, - the Regional Fire Brigade Headquarters in Gorzow Wielkopolski, - the Office of the Marshall of the Lubuskie Province, - the General Directorate of National Roads and Motorways in Zielona Gora. For the sake of HNS efficiency, ‘ARCUS 2005’ Civil Defense Resources Allocation Data Base is used. It contains constantly updated information about resources necessary to satisfy the needs of both the Polish army and NATO forces deployed or passing through the Lubuskie Province. ‘ARCUS 2005’ can graphically demonstrate the actual availability of resources on a map of the province, or on a map of a selected county or commune (hospitals, filling stations, accommodation, etc). Information so displayed is then updated by means of tactical symbols and descriptions of changes in the situation. 68 HNS contact points in governors’ offices in Western Poland: The Lubuskie Province: The Office of the Governor of the Lubuskie Province (Lubuski Urzad Wojewodzki): ul.
