Poland is against the European Commission's (EC) proposal for a mandatory curb on gas consumption in the EU amid a looming energy crisis, the Polish climate minister has said, The First News reports.
"It is very difficult to discuss the mechanisms, which the EC has prepared over a few days and in a rush, and which force obligatory gas use cuts on member countries," Anna Moskwa said on Monday.
"Member countries cannot approve mandatory gas consumption cuts in a situation when they do not know what the coming winter will look like and when their interests are not secured," she added.
According to her, Greece, Portugal, Spain, Cyprus and Malta are also against the obligatory gas consumption cuts.
