Summary account of meetings

Monday 18 September

1. Meeting with NGOs

After some introductory words by the Chair, several NGOs active in the environmental field presented their activities and the main concerns for the environment in Poland.

In particular, Mr Tobiasz Adamczewski (WWF Poland) touched the topic of the recent reduction of jobs for miners (from 145 000 to 82 000 since 2005) and of the restructuring of mining companies. He also pointed out the need to better exploit the potential of renewable energy (especially for wind energy and biogas) and to accompany that transition with a modernisation of houses as well as with social actions to help the society facing this transition.

Mr Paweł Szypulski (Greenpeace Poland) touched the topic of scale logging in private land.

Ms Małgorzata Smolak (ClientEarth Poland) explained the health problems linked to coal and air pollution in Poland, mainly due the fact that coal and wood burning, predominantly in outdated installations (stoves), remains a major heating source, especially outside densely populated areas. In particular, around 50% of PM2.5 and PM10 and over 80% of benzo(a)pyrene emissions are emitted by small-scale heating installations. Some solutions were proposed so far at regional level (i.e. in South Poland). She explained that the described situation has a very negative impact on citizens’ health and increase the number of premature death.

Ms Ewa Les (Save the Rivers Coalition) gave an overview of the recent legislative developments in Poland on water and on some projects to use the main Polish rivers for transport purposes, for example a recent project of navigation near the Vistola lagune.

PE610.918v01-00 2/13 CR\1135718EN.docx EN

Mr Zbigniew Karaczun (Polish Climate Coalition) gave a general overview of the situation of Polish NGOs, which fear reduced financial support.

In the discussion, Members raised question in relation to funding environmental protection projects and to the need of having an integrated approach and of sharing not only objectives, but also policies. NGOs shared with Members some difficulties in the current situation to have integrated approaches in some areas but also a successful experience in Krakow on air pollution.

2. Meeting with Renewable Energy sector

Ms Beata Wiszniewska (General Director of PIGEOR - Polish Economic Chamber of Renewable and Distributed Energy) gave a presentation on the general overview of RES sector in Poland in the last years. The national action plan in 2010 put a target of 19% RES in 2020 and also in the draft for energy policy by 2020 the share does not exceed 20%. She explained that legislation has been modified in 2015, 2016 and in July 2017 on reduction of compensation fee. The collapse of support for existing installations lead to a scarce profitability for the RES farmers.

Ms Ewa Malicka (President of TRMEW, the Polish Association for Small Hydropower Development) gave a presentation on the hydropower sector in Poland. She explained that there are 761 hydropower plants in Poland, most of them very small. In general, the hydropower potential is small but could also be better exploited. TRMEW aims at improving the hydropower using the existing barrages, as there are more than 8000 sites which could potentially be used and developed.

Ms Beata Wiszniewska also gave a presentation on behalf of Mr Ryszard Gajewski (President of the Polish Chamber of Biomass) on the situation of the biomass sector (including use of forest biomass). Although Poland is a good place to develop biomass installation, the sector lives a difficult moment.

Mr Stanislaw Pietruszko (President of PV Poland) gave a presentation on the situation of the photovoltaic sector in Poland distinguishing between the micro installations (up to 40 KW) which are exempted from the fee to connect to the grid, and the other installations.

Ms Kamila Tarnacka (Member of the Board of PSEW - Polish Association of Wind Energy) and Kamil Szydłowski (Vice-president of SMEW - Polish Association of Small Wind Energy) presented to the Members the situation of the wind power sector and its regulatory framework.

In the following discussion, participants discussed the potential of renewables in Poland, with particular focus on wind, including offshore wind, and the need for Poland to build a long term energy strategy and open up to more innovative and flexible energy sectors.

3. Meeting with Polish industry and trade unions

Mr Maciej Burny (Secretary to the Board of the Polish Electricity Association, PKEE) gave a presentation on the Polish actions in diversifying the energy mix and underlined the big

CR\1135718EN.docx 3/13 PE610.918v01-00 EN

potential of biomass and the need for the capacity mechanism to be open to all technologies. He explained that RES development is on its way to meet 2020 target. The path to achieve 15% RES target in 2020 is set out in the National Renewable Energy Action Plan and Poland is implementing this path in terms of installed capacity (MW) and gross electricity generation (GWh).

Ms Daria Kulczycka (Director of energy and climate change department in Confederation “Lewiatan”) explained that Lewiatan is particularly interested in climate policy as it represents a large number of sectors which include energy consumers and energy producers. She explained that although the Polish economy is growing well, a long-term vision of a proper energy mix is needed.

Mr Henryk Kaliś (President of the Forum of Electricity and Gas Receivers - FOEEiG) gave a presentation on the electricity, gas and heat market in Poland from the perspective of its members which are energy-intensive industries. He stressed, in particular, the importance of energy security for industries.

Mr Kazimierz Grajcarek (President of Trade Union NSZZ "Solidarność”) explained their difficulties in evaluating positively EU policies which will have the effect to reduce jobs. He stressed the importance to take into consideration also the point of view of “average people” and to make them informed of any policy which could have serious consequences on their jobs.

Mr Grzegorz Trefon (Project Officer in Trade Unions Forum - FZZ) explained that in Poland many miners and energy sector workers are protesting as they fear the changes that will come as consequence of the Paris agreement. He noted that many of them support the “clean coal” as an option which ensures energy, stability, is cheap and creates jobs. He stressed that lot of investments have been done in revitalisation and green jobs, land reuse and land improvement activities. The former mining areas could be differently exploited and create more jobs, but in order to do so, investments are needed and for that they need political support.

Mr Mirosław Motyka (All-Poland Alliance of Trade Unions - OPZZ) presented the difficulties of the industries they represent, in particular in competing with producers in China which have no ETS.

In the following debate, the Chair stressed the importance to look at the big picture and to face changes although they produce fear and can have immediate negative effects but with the time they will have very positive results. Members underlined the need for certain jobs to disappear but the will of the EU to sustain them and help in the transition; the fact that this kind of changes are necessary as also lignite and carbon are not infinite and although very challenging for some Member States, all member States shall have the same future agenda.

Tuesday 19 September

4. Meeting with Polish State Secretary – Ministry of the Environment

The Members of the delegation met Mr Paweł Sałek (Government Plenipotentiary for Climate Policy in the Ministry of the Environment).

PE610.918v01-00 4/13 CR\1135718EN.docx EN

Mr Sałek welcomed the delegation. The Chair explained what general topics arose from discussions NGOs and Industry. Mr Sałek explained the difficulties for Poland to leave a carbon-based energy system due to its historical path and stressed the importance of ensuring energy security and energy independence, but affirmed that the number of coal mines is significantly decreasing for several reasons, so it is the amount of coal extracted. Mr Salek also noted that other actions have been taken in the last years to reduce CO2 emissions, as investing in renewables and in new fuels as biogas or gas.

Members stressed the need for every Member State to face the change towards decarbonisation and oil reduction while taking care also of its social consequences; the importance of supporting renewable energy producers and to have energy strategies which are coherent with different areas as health and agriculture; the fact that some energy sources as renewables might seem more expensive than traditional sources as coal at the beginning but will become more and more profitable and sustainable in the long term.

5. Roundtable about logging in Białowieża Forest

Background: Białowieża, UNESCO World Heritage (WH) site since 1979, covers about 150,000 ha in Poland and Belarus. The area of the World Heritage site is surrounded by a buffer zone. It is one of the few remaining primeval forests on the European continent, home to the iconic European Bison and hosts more than 250 bird and over 12,000 invertebrate species. The whole of the Polish part of the Białowieża Forest is designated as a Natura 2000 site, a special area of conservation under the EU Habitats Directive and special protection area under the EU Birds Directive. A major discussion arose in 2015- 2016 between the Polish authorities and various institutions and environmentalists, in relation to potential threats to the World Heritage property, following a decision taken by the Minister of the Environment to substantially increase the volume of logging allowed in the Białowieża Forest (from 63,000 m3 to 188 000 m3 in the 2012-2021 period) allegedly in response to a massive attack of bark beetles. In April 2017 the European Commission started an infringement procedure and in July 2017, the European Court of Justice ordered Poland to immediately halt all logging and wood extraction in forests of Białowieża. The Ministry of Environment reacted to this order with an official statement that activities in the forest are conducted in order to secure public safety and are in line with EU law.

Roundtable:

Mr Konrad Tomaszewski (General Director of the State Forest) defended the logging activities as they concern an area which is not National park and stressed that in the last 6 years the forest management had as a result the increase of the number of trees in the forests. Mr Tomaszewski acknowledged that in Natura 2000 sites the forest management activities should be limited and ensured they will be only carried out to protect public security.

Mr Andrzej Szweda-Lewandowski (Undersecretary of State in the Ministry of the Environment, Chief Nature Conservator) and Mr Jan Tabor (expert from State Forest) explained that the main part of the Forest is left alone with a passive control, the other is divided in three national parks and that in the case at stake, the actions taken were justified by the need to protect the trees from a beetles outbreak.

Dr hab. Rafał Kowalczyk (Director, Mammal Research Institute, Polish Academy of

CR\1135718EN.docx 5/13 PE610.918v01-00 EN

Sciences) explained to participants that the Białowieża Forest is the best conserved virgin forest in Europe which is mosaic mixed forest shaped by nature and beetles outbreaks are natural processes occurring on a cyclical basis and increasing the ecological capacity of the forest. Mr Kowalczyk underlined that Białowieża forest is also a main touristic destination in Poland with a high recreational value and high income and several scientific evidence show the negative impact of savage logging.

Dr hab. Bogdan Jaroszewicz (Białowieża Geobotanical Station, ) also confirmed that savage logging has always negative impact on the forests and ecosystems. He stressed that in case of beetle infestation, logging makes sense only if the trees are removed immediately which apparently was not the case in the case of Bialowieża Forest.

Ms Agata Szafraniuk (ClientEarth Prawnicy dla Ziemi - ClientEarth Foundation) informed that a proceeding before the Polish Ombudsman is currently ongoing on the issue. She stressed that no proper environmental assessment, which is compulsory under the Habitats directive, has been conducted, but only an inventory.

Mr Robert Cyglicki (Director of Greenpeace Polska - Greenpeace Foundation) explained that, the reason why beetles population exploded is water scarcity and that logging and replacing old trees with new plants is not a solution as it transforms an old primary forest into a normal tree plantation.

In the following debate, the Members of the delegation discussed with participants the status quo before the increased logging activities, the consequences and management of the beetles’ outbreak in the Belarus part of the Forest and the next steps the Polish government intended to take concerning the European Court of Justice interim measure.

6. Visit to biogas installation in Tończa

The Members of the delegation visited a biogas installation in Tończa which uses anaerobic digestion of agricultural substrates (mainly corn) available from agricultural areas in the radius of a few hundred kilometres, to produce biogas. It is used for production of electricity and heat.

The delegation met, in particular, Mr Tomasz Podgajniak (representative of the Group Enerco/Invenergy/ Polska Grupa Biogazowa, President of Enerco, Member of the Advisory Board of Polska Grupa Biogazowa), Ms Bogusia Igielska (Member of the Board, Polska Grupa Biogazowa), Mr Krystian Stachowiak (President of the Board, Energia-Eco), Mr Henryk Majchrzak (Advisor to the President of the Group) and Ms Beata Wiszniewska (General Director of PIGEOR).

The biogas installation was presented and Members had the opportunity to have a guided visit of the site and to receive detailed explanations of the functioning of the installation.

In the following meeting with the representatives of the investor (group Enerco/Polska Grupa Biogazowa/Invenergy), involved in development and operation of 250 MW of wind turbines and 7 biogas plants (total 7 MW), participants discussed about their own project as well as, in general, about the future of renewables, in particular of biogas in Poland and in the EU.

Wednesday 20 September

7. Meeting with Mr. Andrzej Piotrowski, Undersecretary of State in the Ministry of Energy

The Members of the delegation met Mr Andrzej Piotrowski, Undersecretary of State in the Ministry of Energy.

After welcoming the delegation, Mr Piotrowski gave an overview on the energy policy in Poland. He said that Poland foresees to reduce its coal dependence from 85 to 50% by 2050, that transport and mobility deserve more attention in view of reducing emissions and Poland is now focussing on electric cars and electro mobility, which also helps reducing air pollution, which is a real problem in Poland.

In the following discussion, the participants addressed several topics as: the future of coal and the future of renewables, also in terms of legal framework for the companies producing renewables; the issue of energy security and how to ensure it; the “clean” coal projects; and the case of wind energy and of off-shore windmills.

8. Meeting with

Members met with representatives from the Sejm, in particular with Mrs. Izabela Kloc (Chair of European Affairs Committee), Mr. Marek Suski (Chair of Committee on Energy and State Treasury), Mr. Boguslaw Sonik (Deputy Chairman of the Environment Protection Committee) and, from the extraordinary sub-committee on energy policy, with Mr. Piotr Tomasz Nowak (Deputy Chair), Mr. Andrzej Czerwiński ( MP), Mrs. Elzbieta Kruk (PiS) and Mr. Krzysztof Gadowski (Civic Platform MP).

Mrs Kloc underlined the importance of climate policy and of the upcoming Winter Package for Poland. She stressed though that an EU policy which privileges gas and discriminates coal, makes it impossible for Poland to meet the objectives and that diversification of energy sources needs time. |She also stressed the big progress made by Poland in the last 20 years and the need not to focus only on windmill farms but also on geo-thermal, biomass and forests action to reduce the emissions.

In the following discussion, Members discussed about Polish dependency from coal and the possibilities to reduce it, underlining how renewables can offer the good energy mix to fund security. Mrs. Kloc and Mr Suski stressed that they fear to end up with dependence to Russian gas, in case Poland should stop using coal and concluded that mitigating and reducing the share of coal is possible but not eliminating it, and that the reduction of emissions can be achieved also through other measures, like capturing CO2. Mr. Gadowski and Mr. Czerwinski, from the opposition, talked about the recent investments in “clean coal”, the need to have a long-term strategy for 2050 and to well pave the path to go away from coal and that the opposition is keen to work with the government to find a solution.

9. Visit to the Photovoltaic facade system, Faculty of Environment Engineering at the Warsaw University of Technology

CR\1135718EN.docx 7/13 PE610.918v01-00 EN

Mr Pietruszko gave a presentation to Members on photovoltaic energy in Poland and on a project of photovoltaic installations at the Warsaw University of Technology (WUT). The project for the façade installations were an investment of around 2 million EUR, co-financed by the 6th Environmental Action Programme and national funds. Pioneer achievements in the Photovoltaic were presented (i.e. the powering of traffic lights in 1999).

In the discussion, participants talked about the EU strategy on photovoltaic, the possible future of PV energy, in Poland and in the EU, as well as the technical options available to make photovoltaic energy stable, so that PV panels can produce energy also during winter.

Conclusions

The Members of the delegation had the opportunity to discuss with the Polish State Secretary of the Ministry of environment, the Undersecretary of State in the Ministry of energy, members of the Sejim, as well as NGOs and stakeholders from the industry and civil society about the progress and the challenges in the areas of emissions reduction, renewable energies and forest management and protection of biodiversity in Poland.

In particular, the roundtable on the Białowieża Forest gave the Members the opportunity to have an insight view of this controversial issue and to compare the points of views of the Polish government, the scientific world and the environmental NGOs. Several visits and meetings allowed the participants to collect different points of views and learn about Polish perspective on important topics as decarbonisation, renewables, air quality which will be useful for the work of the ENVI Committee, also in view of the upcoming actions the EU and Member States will undertake in order to fulfil the commitments under the Paris agreement.
