Poland is putting pressure on the European Commission (EC) to rule whether a new Russian gas pipeline conforms with EU law.

Polish prime minister Beata Szydlo told press after an EU summit in Brussels on October 21 that “more and more countries are highlighting the role of the EC in Nord Stream [the Russian pipeline]”.
