Polish Economy Minister Piotr Wozniak said in Warsaw on November 10 that his country insists that Russia ratify the transit protocol of the EU-Russia Energy Charter, which Russia signed in 1994 but never ratified, as a precondition to Poland's backing for any talks on a new EU-Russia partnership agreement, European dailies reported on November 11 and 13 (see "RFE/RL Newsline," October 30 and 31, 2006). The Energy Charter would require Moscow to open up access to its pipelines.
