PM: Poland has a firm stand on carbon emissions

Polish Prime Minister Ewa Kopacz plans to push for solutions that are in Poland's interest during the upcoming EU climate summit. She will especially focus on CO2 emission limits. “This issue actually concerns all Poles, because everyone uses electricity,” Kopacz was quoted as saying by Polish Radio. “That is why, if our conditions are not satisfied, I will have to make a radical move, even though this will be my first summit.” Poland sees the emission reduction proposal from the European Commission as too restrictive. The PM said that she would like CO2 emission limits to stay unchanged and be at the disposal of the Polish government. EU leaders will meet on Thursday and Friday to decide on the EU's climate and energy policy after 2020.
