What goes on in Poland on the 26th of October.
Ministry of Energy repeats: There will be no fuel merge
Ministry of Energy is not currently leading talks on an optional merge of Lotos and PKN Orlen – informed minister of energy Krzysztof Tobiszowski.
– I do not know whether there are any works in the ministry going on in this case. Several analyses had earlier been done. Situation in economy happens to be dynamic, so I believe that certain solution should be kept in mind – said Tobiszowski.
– I think that since we have worked out the issue of energy mix, we will be ready to sort other things out – he added.
Vice-minister of infrastructure and construction Kazimierz Smoliński said that a merge PKN Orlen and Lotos is inevitable. – This issue comes back every now and again, but as a deputy from the region, I am against the merge – said Smoliński.
