Turow mine and power plant will continue to operate, says Poland's PM

Europe's top court ordered Poland to pay a daily penalty of 500,000 euros ($586,700.00) to the European Commission for not halting operations at Turow mine, in violation of the EU court's earlier ruling. "This decision is totally wrong...We do not plan stop operations of the Turow mine and energy power plant," Morawiecki said.
