Having built a new gas pipeline, the Poles intend to “dictate the conditions” of Russia

14

For many years, the cost of Russian gas for Warsaw was higher than for Berlin, but having built a new gas pipeline, the Poles themselves will “dictate the conditions” to Moscow, writes the Polish online publication wPolityce.

The publication notes that the LNG terminal in иноwinoujсьcie significantly increased Polish sovereignty in the matter of diversifying natural gas supplies to the country. With it, Poland began to buy LNG from the United States and other countries. But since 2022, Poland will gain complete energy independence and security.



The decisive link in this will be the commissioning of the Baltic Pipe gas pipeline, through which gas from Norway through Denmark, through the bottom of the North and Baltic Seas, will flow to Poland. Therefore, the Poles should consider the start of construction of the indicated gas pipeline as a historical moment.

But the main thing is that we are now building a gas pipeline from the Norwegian shelf, which will provide us with complete independence. Then we will actually decide whether we will sign a contract with a Russian supplier or not

- said the President of Poland Andrzej Duda on May 24, 2020.

The Polish leader emphasized that Warsaw was forced to negotiate with Moscow, as Poland had no alternative to deliveries from Russia. And the Poles really needed gas. He added that for the Polish authorities there are no more important matters than domestic ones.

Now we want to bring the situation to the point where, starting in 2022, it was we who decided whether we signed it or not, whether we would import gas from this or another direction. This is real sovereignty, this is real diversification of supplies, this is a completely different positioning of Poland than it was before, when we pay and paid for gas more than Germany

- specified Duda.

It must be recalled that the completion of the mentioned gas pipeline is scheduled for October 1, 2022. Moreover, the Poles are already promisedthat will save Ukraine from "gas blackmail" from Russia.

    The Poles forgot that the rule of the third energy package also applies to them and that they will have to give half of their pipes.

      The demagogue Duda again drives his bullshit about the REAL Polish Sovereignty!

      In order for Poland to have its PRESENT SOVEREIGNTY on gas, Poland needs to be a self-sufficient country to produce its own gas in its own country!
      And as long as Poland is forced to import foreign gas from other countries, Poland, in principle, will NEVER have gas of its own REAL Polish sovereignty!
      Duda again manipulatively replaces the historically formed concept of "Polish national show off" with the concept of "REAL" Polish SOVEREIGNTY.

      As far as I know, during the construction of their Baltic Pipe gas pipeline, the Poles will cross our North Stream. And for this they need our permission. I think ours will give it, but the Poles will conduct many examinations and the construction will be delayed for some time. I personally hope so, we will take revenge and our revenge will be cruel!

    Polish pans were never distinguished by modesty. laughing
    I thought about how Baltic Pipe is doing with the third energy package there. what I looked. Yes Oh God, belay he also gets. They booked 80% of the capacity for themselves, but the evil Gazprom was picking on the European Commission. I don’t even understand why he behaves so disgustingly. request Miller is probably just jealous. feel

    PGNiG has managed to book 8,1 billion cubic meters of annual transit capacity of the Baltic Pipe, which violates regulation No. 715: one supplier clearly received more than 50 percent of the transit capacity of this IHP. Ugliness? Certainly. This is exactly what Gazprom decided and on April 30, 2014, initiated a claim against the European Commission in the WTO Arbitration Group (the arbitration court of this organization) for its illegal decision on the Baltic Pipe.

    At the beginning of August 2018, the WTO Arbitration Group satisfied this claim, requiring the EC to amend the decisions, and not only on the Baltic Pipe.

    So let Pan Duda blow into a dudu, good luck and a fair wind in his hunchbacked back on the path to gaining energy independence. winked

    - but that's bad luck ..

    ... Gas production in Norway at the end of 2019 decreased by about 6%. These disappointing numbers recently published the Norwegian Oil Directorate, which predicts that by 2024 the country will again reach its peak level of hydrocarbon production. But so far, forecasts have come true exactly the opposite: the second largest gas supplier to Europe, after Russia, is reducing gas production from year to year. And this calls into question the feasibility of building the Baltic Pipe pipeline, which is seen from Warsaw as an alternative to Russian gas ..

    The Poles, since they are laying the pipe AFTER ours, must ask us for permission to cross our pipes. They will probably get consent ......

      They stated that they had received. True, there is no evidence ...

    In order to dictate the conditions of the Russian Federation, Poland must find large gas deposits on its territory, and gas supplies from Norway will always be limited in volume, since gas production in this country has long reached its maximum.

    I had one customer who bought a plot on the Kashirskoye Highway near Moscow. I wanted a luxury class shopping center on it, just like in Barvikha on Rublevka. Well, okay with him, there was not enough marketing knowledge. And with these things it’s sadder: they take their dreams for a 100% forecast of the future. As for these, we have a proverb - the asshole riches with a thought.

    They have such deposits nearby. These are shale deposits of Ukraine. They will help us with tearing dill, and they will also receive production opportunities.
