Critics of this solution, mostly from a cross-party coalition of Polish representatives in the European Parliament, have pointed out that such emissions restrictions could put mines on the brink of bankruptcy.

During negotiations in the European Parliament, PiS MEPs Isabella Kluck and Anna Zalewska introduced amendments to the document to raise this threshold. Ultimately, it was set at 5 tons of methane per kiloton of coal extracted. A provision has also been introduced to apply this threshold to the operator if he operates several mines.

The amendments also replaced the penalties imposed by breaking down the regulations into fees that go to the member state’s budget and are then transferred to mines for investment in technologies to reduce methane emissions.
