GDANSK, July 30 (Reuters) - ING Bank Slaski INGP.WA, the Polish unit of Dutch banking group ING INGA.AS, reported second-quarter profit in line with expectations on Thursday as strong growth in interest and fee income helped offset the impact of lower interest rates and higher taxes.
Polish banks are looking for stronger lending and fee income to support earnings as lower interest rates and higher taxes weigh on profitability.

Net profit rose 5% year-on-year to 1.19 billion zlotys ($315.31 million), in line with 1.17 billion zlotys seen in a company-compiled consensus
Net interest income rose 7% to 2.33 billion zlotys
Net fee and commission income increased 16% to 679 million zlotys, against a consensus of 652 million zlotys 
Mortgage lending jumped 19% year-on-year to 5.85 billion zlotys 
The bank is still analyzing the impact of the April 23 ruling by the European Court of Justice that barred lenders from charging interest on loan costs, it said in a statement

($1 = 3.7741 zlotys)
