Poland Successful In EU Climate Wrangle (Javno, 12/12/08)

Polish Prime Minister Donald Tusk achieved his goal of amending an EU plan to battle climate change to ease the pain of transition for Poland's power sector, a senior government official said.

Poland was seen as one of the main obstacles to the EU's plans to cut carbon dioxide emissions by a fifth by 2020, because it will prove costly for its large coal-dependent power sector.

"The prime minister achieved everything he wanted in negotiations on the climate package," the official told Reuters. "We wait of course for the confirmation on paper."

...when the Poles win everyone wins.
