Poland calls for the EU to introduce a coal embargo from Russia. It is up to the European Commission to decide on this. Experts from Forum Energii say that Poland can do without Russian coal. It may be more difficult with gas or oil.
“Part of the EU's sanctions should be a blockade on oil, gas, and coal from Russia. The European Commission should decide on an embargo on Russian coal. I spoke with the Prime Minister of Australia about supplies of this raw material to Poland,” PM said.
Morawiecki met at the Rzeszów-Jasionka Airport with the President of the European Council, Charles Michel. The talks were to concern, inter alia, further sanctions against Russia.
“Part of the sanctions package is to be a blockade on various types of hydrocarbons from Russia: oil, gas, and coal. I am calling once again for the European Commission to decide on an embargo on Russian coal,” the prime minister stressed.
"Poland immediately wants to stop importing Russian coal, and I talked about this today with the Australian Prime Minister, to also transport coal to Poland from there," Morawiecki added.
