In the EU Council, Poland will not support any of the laws passed by the European Parliament related to “Fit for 55”, Climate and Environment Minister Anna Moscow announced in an interview with the i.pl portal.
In an interview with the portal, the head of the Ministry of Culture and Environment recalled that the legislative acts adopted by the European Parliament refer to different aspects of climate policy and are differentiated in terms of impact. They concern different areas such as: energy, industry, aviation.
An important new element that we strongly oppose is the inclusion of buildings and road transport in the EU ETS. The fuels used in these sectors will be charged extra. This means that the more emissions from a given fuel, the higher the levy will be. This will translate into an increase in costs for heating and the use of transport, both in Poland and in other EU countries
– emphasized Anna Moscow in an interview with i.pl.
Opposition to “Fit for 55”
The minister also criticized the decision of MEPs from PO, PSL, Left and Poland 2050, who voted in favor of the regulations from the “Fit for 55” package.
It was an important test for Polish MEPs. The fact that the main regulations of the “Fit for 55” package have been approved by Polish opposition MEPs – PO, PSL, Lewica and Polska 2050 shows that Polish citizens cannot count on them. We will all pay for their decisions, although unfortunately it will affect Poland’s poorest citizens the most
– she said.
Poland will not support any of the legal acts passed by the European Parliament in the EU Council. Due to the importance of the solutions introduced, we believe they should be voted unanimously, but unfortunately they will be adopted by qualified majority. It can therefore be expected that the vast majority of countries will support the proposed solutions and that they will be adopted in the near future
That is what Minister Anna Moscow told the i.pl portal.
