If our law is passed, it will actually become unrealistic to transfer powers over forests to the European Union, said Deputy Justice Minister Michał Woś.
Opposition among ruling party politicians and foresters aroused m.in. a proposal to transfer forestry from national competences to common EU competences. In January this year, the European Parliament’s Committee on the Environment, Public Health and Food Safety delivered a positive opinion on the amendment to the treaties, which would transfer forestry from national competence to the so-called competences shared between the EU and the Member States. The unanimous consent of all EU countries is required to amend the Treaties.

– Minister of Climate: We are not going to transfer the State Forests to EU or private management. To change the treaties, the agreement of all EU countries is required
“There’s no permission for that.”
Politicians from Solidarna Polska and representatives from Staatsbosbeheer organized a conference on this subject on Tuesday. Woś informed the conference that Solidarna Polska, together with foresters, had applied for the creation of the Legislative Initiative Committee.
We have prepared a bill, we are waiting for the decision of the Marshal of the Sejm on the registration of the commission and we are starting to collect signatures
he said.
The deputy minister stressed that Poland’s forests are under threat and that the European Union wants to change the treaties to ensure that forestry is no longer an exclusive competence of member states, but becomes a shared competence.
The EU intends to pursue the interests of the Germans, who de facto rule the EU, at the expense of Polish forests. Neither Solidarna Polska nor Polish foresters agree, for which I thank you
said Wos.
We are, in fact, sounding the alarm and taking actions that will block the EU’s attempts at a very early stage. If our law is passed, it will actually become unrealistic to transfer powers over forests to the European Union
he continued.
Ochoyska and diplomatic betrayal
During the conference, Woś referred to MEP Janina Ochojska’s nasty lies about Polish foresters.
Before you are Polish foresters shamelessly spat on with some insinuations by Mrs Ochojska and we defend the good name of Polish foresters, we will actually put these statements to the public eye so that Poles can see how these people behave.
It’s in the criminal code diplomatic treason. If the editor asks my private opinion, I really think these rules should be clarified in such a way that those who commit diplomatic treachery, those who spit on their own country, who forget that it is Poles who are turning into some Eurocrat and dilute them between those Brussels octopuses and wines, so that they really get down to earth and start defending Poland’s interests, and not acting in the interests of Germany or other countries
said the secretary of state.
