PGNiG to discuss Norway gas deal again after election

The supervisory board of Polish Oil and Gas (PGNiG), at its Monday meeting, failed to approve the contract signed by Poland and Norway for the supply of natural gas, Prawo i Gospodarka has learned. Chairman of PGNiG Andrzej Lipko confirmed through the company's press office that the supervisory board had discussed the contract. "But not as a well-founded deal," he said. Since adoption of a resolution in favor of the contract had been considered a formality, Prawo i Gospodarka speculates that there were so many questions that not all of them could be considered during a meeting that lasted only a few hours. The daily goes on to suggest that some supervisory board members may have objections to the contract. The supervisory board will consider the contract again at a meeting on September 27, a few days after the national election. (Prawo i Gospodarka, p. 1) M.T.
