(ANSA-AFP) - PRAGUE, FEB 3 - The Czech Republic and Poland on Thursday signed a deal on a giant coal mine near the Czech and German borders to end a dispute that has caused a stand-off between Warsaw and Brussels. Czech Prime Minister Petr Fiala and his Polish counterpart Mateusz Morawiecki "signed an agreement" in Prague on the Turow lignite mine, the Polish prime minister's office said on Twitter. "We managed to push away a stone that burdened us," Fiala said later at a press conference with Morawiecki. The Polish leader said he hoped the Czech Republic would withdraw its complaint with the EU's top court "today or tomorrow... and the problem will cease to exist". The open cast mine in southwest Poland fuels a power station providing around seven percent of Poland's electricity needs. Poland relies on coal to meet up to 80 percent of its energy needs, but has vowed to develop green energy sources and to shut its last mine by 2049, in line with EU emissions targets. (ANSA-AFP).
