Poland's EU Presidency Will Support Shale Gas Development

As Poland assumes the rotating European Union (EU) presidency, its central objectives in the energy sphere over the next six months will be to obstruct any attempts to regulate shale gas development at a supranational level or to impose tougher climate change targets.

On 1 July Poland assumed the rotating presidency of the European Union (EU) for the first time in the country's history. The presidency rotates between EU member states every six months (Poland inherited the role from Hungary) and incurs responsibility for the functioning of the Council of the European Union--the chamber that represents member states' governments and is the ultimate arbiter in the passage of new legislation.
