Poland and France have reached an agreement regarding the idea of an energy union within the EU, Polish Prime Minister Donald Tusk and French President Francois Hollande said after their meeting on Thursday.
“The European energy union is a beautiful project, which will allow the EU to reach a new level of solidarity, actions for employment, for economic growth, but also to achieve autonomy in the field of energy,” Hollande said.
Tusk is advocating an energy union between EU member states in response to Russia’s energy policy and its conflict with Ukraine. The union would be based on several elements, including common gas purchases and looking for new sources of fuels.
