Description
During a press conference with his Polish counterpart in Prague, Czech Prime Minister, Petr Fiala, announces that his country and Poland have "reached an agreement" on a giant coal mine near the Czech and German borders to end a dispute that has caused a stand-off between Warsaw and Brussels. The open cast mine in southwest Poland fuels a power station providing around seven percent of Poland's electricity needs. Poland relies on coal to meet up to 80 percent of its energy needs, but has vowed to develop green energy sources and to shut its last mine by 2049, in line with EU emissions targets.
