Poland has said it will not close a polluting coal mine on the Czech border or pay a €500,000-a-day fine for keeping it open, which was awarded by the European Union court on Monday. “The fine is disproportionate ... and is not justified by facts,” a Polish government spokesman said.
“It’s judicial robbery and theft in broad daylight,” said Marcin Romanowski, Undersecretary of State of the Polish Ministry of Justice. “You won’t get a cent,".
