Polskie Gornictwo Naftowe i Gazownictwo SA, Poland’s biggest gas distributor, dismissed Chief Executive Officer Grazyna Piotrowska-Oliwa following a row over OAO Gazprom’s pipeline expansion plans.

The supervisory board of the state-controlled company, known as PGNiG, also fired Deputy CEO Radoslaw Dudzinski in charge of sales at today’s meeting, Prime Minister Donald Tusk said at a news conference. Earlier this month Tusk dismissed Treasury Minister Mikolaj Budzanowski for failing to inform him about a deal that a company in which PGNiG holds a stake signed with the Russian natural gas exporter.
