WARSAW, March 27 (Reuters) - The following are significant news stories, press reports and events on Friday. ALL TIMES GMT (Poland: GMT + 1 hour):

FUEL PRICES

Poland will slash fuel taxes, cap pump prices and may pursue a windfall tax on energy companies, the prime minister said on Thursday, measures set to be welcomed by drivers but which sent shares in state-controlled refiner Orlen PKN.WA tumbling.

On Friday, the parliament will vote on draft laws reducing excise duty and VAT, which are expected to be submitted to President Karol Nawrocki this week.

PEPCO

European discount retailer Pepco Group PCOP.WA said on Thursday it remained confident in delivering full-year results in line with the guidance set out in December, despite the uncertain consumer and geopolitical backdrop.
