Poland will seek to stop the Russian push for expansion of the Nord Stream natural-gas pipeline and to win the European Union’s assurances for the future of its coal industry when the bloc’s energy and climate chief Miguel Arias Canete arrives in Warsaw today.
Arias Canete, who oversees EU policies ranging from gas-supply security to the emissions-trading system, known as ETS, is scheduled to meet Polish energy and environment ministers during a two-day visit. The agenda also includes EU climate plans for 2030 as the European Commission prepares a draft law on how to divide the burden of a 40 percent greenhouse gas-reduction target among member states.
