In the Polish economy, 75% of entrepreneurs benefit from the EU free market.

Error detected

The claim states that 75% of entrepreneurs benefit from the EU free market, but the 75% figure actually measures the share of Polish goods exports destined for EU countries — a fundamentally different metric. The percentage of Polish entrepreneurs who directly or indirectly benefit from the single market is not established by the available evidence.

Omissions

• The MEP conflates two distinct metrics: the share of Poland's exports going to the EU (a trade-flow statistic) with the proportion of entrepreneurs who benefit from the single market (which would require a business survey or census data). No survey measuring what percentage of Polish entrepreneurs benefit from the EU single market was found.
• The 75% figure refers specifically to goods exports. The share of imports from the EU is lower — around 54-68% depending on the year and source — meaning the overall trade integration picture is more nuanced.
• Many Polish entrepreneurs serving only the domestic market may also benefit indirectly from the single market (via supply chains, regulatory harmonisation, labour mobility), but the 75% export-share figure does not directly measure this.
• Only secondary sources (think-tank reports and analytical articles) were found; a direct primary source from Eurostat or a Polish statistical office confirming the exact export share for the most recent period could not be located within the search limit.
