Polish PM says Czechs agree to withdraw lawsuit about Turow mine
Change language:
The Czech Republic has agreed to withdraw a lawsuit it filed at the European Union’s top court to halt operations at a lignite coal mine in Poland, the Polish prime minister said early on Tuesday.
On Friday, the Court of Justice of the European Union (CJEU) ordered Poland to immediately stop mining at the Turow mine operated by state-run PGE, pending a final decision in the case.
The Czech government had argued that a planned expansion of the open-pit mine was environmentally damaging for communities on its side of the border, and that Warsaw had violated EU law by extending mining at Turow until 2026.
But Polish Prime Minister Mateusz Morawiecki said the two governments were now on the cusp of an agreement to de-escalate the dispute.
Poland is the most polluting country in the EU due to the government relying on the coal mining industry for votes. Dirty politics, if you like.
