Failure to reach an agreement with the Czech Republic may cost Poland PLN 20 bln by 2044

The closure of the Turów mine has serious economic and social consequences for the entire region. Therefore, the government is not going to do this.
"The judgment of the CJEU in terms of a financial penalty is final, which does not mean that there is no way out. Poland has to come to an agreement with the Czech Republic," Krzysztof Kwiatkowski, senator, former president of the Supreme Chamber of Control, noted.
Turów is not the only conflict between Poland and the European Union. Disputes in the area of the judiciary remain to be resolved, and the National Reconstruction Plan for Poland and the money for its implementation are still not accepted.
"If we take seriously the declarations of the Polish government on mining by 2044 without an agreement with the Czech Republic, we will face penalties of PLN 20 billion," the senator noted.
