"I support Mr Ehler’s report for two reasons.
Lacking its own raw materials, the European Union is becoming one of the largest energy importers in the world, increasingly dependent on external oil and gas suppliers. These are the sectors associated with the greatest geopolitical risk. Coal reserves will remain available for longer than oil and natural gas reserves, and may acquire strategic importance for us, in the event that energy supplies are threatened for political reasons.
In addition, producing energy from fossil fuels such as coal can be viable in spite of stringent environmental standards, and this offers good prospects to European and Polish mines. The introduction of clean coal technologies will contribute to the significant development of Poland’s infrastructure and its economy."@en1
