30/03/2022 (Agence Europe) – Polish Prime Minister Mateusz Morawiecki argued, on Wednesday 30 March, for the introduction of a tax on Russian gas, oil and coal imports at EU level. The tax, he said, would aim to “equalise energy prices across the EU” so that “trade and economic rules in the European Single Market work fairly”, according to AFP. He also announced a bill, due in April or May, banning Russian coal imports to Poland. Warsaw also wants to be completely free of dependence on Russian oil supplies by December “at the latest and those regarding gas starting that same date.
