PiS supports climate agreement veto

Law and Justice (PiS) will support the Prime Minister Kopacz in a veto of the European climate change agreement. Party press secretary Adam Hofman told Polish Radio channel one, that Poland cannot accept the emissions limits set forth by the EU, as this would be costly for the Polish economy. Ewa Kopacz is in Milan at the moment at a summit of EU and Asian leaders. “Polish interests in this matter are the most important,” underscored Hofman. Kopacz mentioned that discussions are very difficult and individual nation’s interests are not cohesive with the overall EU line, reported IAR. The EU wants to propose a plan to reduce CO2 emissions by 40 percent until 2030.
