Prime Minister Ewa Kopacz has signed a deal with her Czech counterpart Bohuslav Sobotka for a partnership on the delivery of gas between the two countries.

“We will build the gas line between the Czech Republic and Poland, [...] we want to build it mainly on European aid. We will strive to prepare the entire documentation and make sure the appropriate application finds itself on the desk of the European Commission representative by 2016,” PM Kopacz said.

The meeting on Monday also discussed construction of a road link connecting the Czech Republic to the Polish ports of Szczecin and Świnoujście.

Prime Minister Ewa Kopacz stressed that this is particularly important in the context of the launch of an LNG terminal in Świnoujście later this year. (rg)
