BRUSSELS (Reuters) â Polandâs plan to extend the life of a coal mine in Turow until 2044 could mean the region will not get access to the European Unionâs flagship green transition fund, the European Commission said on Monday.
The EUâs âJust Transition Fundâ is a 17.5-billion euro slice of the blocâs budget and COVID-19 recovery fund, set aside to help regions wind down fossil fuel industries and replace them with green enterprises and jobs.
