WARSAW, Sept 15 (Reuters) – Poland opposes the advent of an EU-wide providence profit tax for power companies but could introduce a solution independently, Polish Climate Minister Anna Moskwa said on Thursday.
The European Union executive on Wednesday announced plans to raise more than $140 billion from electricity corporations to help families and businesses avoid the high costs that threaten economic recession and insolvencies.
“We are a concept of this type at the national point (. . . ) but we do not agree to introduce such a solution at the European point,” Moskwa told personal radio station Radio Zet.
Moskwa said such a resolution would have to be taken unanimously as it concerns taxes and that one across the EU would be unfeasible due to differences in some countries’ energy systems.
“We will oppose this. . . we have presented an official movement to (vote) unanimously, other countries have other approaches here. Many countries agree with such solutions,” Moskwa said. (Reporting via Anna Wlodarczak-Semczuk and Pawel Florkiewicz; Editing via Alexander Smith)
