Poland defends gas storage policy following EC legal challenge

LONDON (ICIS)–The Polish government has defended its national gas storage regulation to ICIS on Friday following its referral to the European court system by the European Commission (EC)

The EC announced on Thursday 16 November it was referring Poland to the Court of Justice of the European Union (CJEU) “for imposing restrictive requirements on companies engaged in the cross-border trade of natural gas under its national gas storage legislation.”

The Polish climate and environment ministry told ICIS on Friday the referral and allegations by the EC “seem incomprehensible and erroneous” and that there are hopes “they will be clarified during the proceedings.”
