Polish coal gets a boost from the prime minister
22:35
The price of coal in coal yards is very high, considering that at the mines it is much cheaper. The prime minister of Poland seeks to legislate a project that would create national coal yards.
“I think that Polish coal should be used in Polish homes. The coal market should be subject to certain regulations,” said Prime Minister Tusk.
Currently, distribution of coal in Poland is undertaken by the firm Składy Węgla and a number of businesses unified in the Polish Coal Sellers Chamber (IGSPW). Police authorities have investigated the first firm for misconduct and 10 managers of the company have been arrested last Wednesday.
The minister wants national coal yards to serve as an institution for improving industry standards. The project would entitle coal yards to provide certifications and guard against unfair competition.
