„We are going to the Court of Justice of the European Union,” said the Minister of Climate and Environment Anna Moskwa on Radio ZET. According to Poland, the formal and legal bases for accelerating the EU’s climate policy have not been completed. The motion to the CJEU is due in a few days.

„We are going to the Court of Justice of the European Union. Formal and legal bases have not been preserved. We will make an application in the coming days. We will demand a change in the legal basis, that is, a de facto decision of the CJEU, that all decisions were made incorrectly,” said the Minister of Climate and Environment Anna Moskwa on Radio ZET in relation to the regulation banning new internal combustion cars from 2035 from the Fit for 55 package.

„With this decision we are going to the CJEU in the near future,” the Minister admitted during the interview. „It should have been made unanimously, because it affects the energy mix, but was based on a qualified majority. We will take this and may other documents from Fit For 55 to the CJEU,” she said.

The Fit for 55 package is a series of regulations designed to accelerate the energy transition and reduce greenhouse gas emissions in the European Union through new requirements in various areas of the economy, including a deadline for the introduction of new internal combustion engines to the market.
