News & Politics April 09, 2021 The Turów mine and power station belong to the PGE Mining and Conventional Energy company (PGE GiEK). Grzegorz Hawałej/PAP Poland has requested the Court of Justice of the European Union (CJEU) to reject a Czech motion to halt mining at the Turów lignite mine. The Czech government had applied to the CJEU for the implementation of interim measures to stop the mining of lignite at the colliery, which is on the Polish-Czech border, citing environmental concerns. Poland's Ministry of Climate told PAP on Friday that Warsaw's response to the Czech government's request had been forwarded to the court on April 6. In its response, the Polish government argued that interim measures are disproportionate and do not ensure a proper balance of interests.
