"The external dimension of EU energy policy is one of the priorities of the Polish Presidency. Integrated and secure energy networks are a key requirement not only for the aims of EU energy policy, but also for its economic strategy. The EU needs a fully functioning internal market in this area.
In accordance with the report’s provisions, the construction of an internal energy market should be completed by 2015, which will ensure the free movement of gas and electricity between the countries of the EU, and also connect energy islands to the infrastructure. In view of the growing demand for imported fuels, the EU is creating a common energy policy to avoid future crises similar to those which took place last year. New transmission routes and interconnectors between countries, and the search for alternative fuels, sources and supply routes are to form the basis of energy safety and solidarity between its members.
Poland forms an important part of this system, but its energy infrastructure is in a state of gradual decay. Polish power stations and transmission and distribution networks are suffering from a lack of funding of over 70%. In Poland, where the economy is based on coal, it has been possible to exploit native fossil fuel resources, such as, for example, coal, and also shale gas. In Poland, over 90% of electricity is generated from coal. Mines are profitable, which is the exception in the EU."@en1
