ECJ rules against Poland
Poland’s legislation on regulating natural gas prices for non-household off-takers has failed to comply with the European Union’s (EU) internal market rules, the European Court of Justice (ECJ) has ruled. Under the Gas Directive consumers are guaranteed the option to choose their supplier freely, as prices may be adopted in exceptional circumstances only. By regulating prices for non-household customers, Poland is in breach of these requirements. The European Commission (EC) stated that tariffs set for non-household end-users impede new gas suppliers from entering the gas market and prevent Polish consumers from reaping the full benefits that the internal market can offer. The ECJ ruled that Poland fails to respect the requirements of EU law, as the system of regulated gas prices applies to all non-household users, regardless of their size and situation, and does not set a time limit for regulated prices.
