How do you assess the current relations between Poland and France?
Economic relations are very good. France is one of Poland’s most important economic partners and investors. Trade is booming – France is already the third recipient of our exports. Things could not be better, although political relations could improve.

Wracamy do rozwiązań, które już funkcjonowały podczas kryzysu energetycznego w latach 70. – mówi Monika Constant, dyrektor generalna Francusko-Polskiej Izby Gospodarczej CCIFP.
The heating season is approaching and we have to cope with the energy crisis. Is France preparing for this?
Energy issues are important for all countries, not just in Europe. France has the luxury of more than 70% of its energy being nuclear energy. Poland is only beginning to think about it and prepare for it. Later this year, the technology and partner to build the nuclear power plant will be selected. We hope that France will prove to be a stable partner with the best offer.
Putting that aside, France is already preparing for the situation that may come. The French government has issued instructions to prepare in the buildings of state institutions to reduce the use of energy and lower the temperature inside. A similar decision was made in the 1970s. So, we are going back to solutions that were already during the energy crisis. All companies were asked to prepare solutions to implement in their offices and factories that would reduce energy use. Even if there is fewer energy sources, it is possible that there will not experience any blackout.
