DZP supports strategic construction of Brody-Adamowo pipeline

On 6 March 2013 the European Commission approved planned state aid for the construction of the Brody-Adamowo pipeline. The aid beneficiary will be the company Międzynarodowe Przedsiębiorstwo Rurociągowe "Sarmatia" Sp. z o.o., which will receive a subsidy of approx. PLN 545 million under the Operational Programme Infrastructure and Environment.

The project involves the construction of a pipe connection to be used to pipe oil between the terminal in Brody and the storage depot in Adamowo, and then to Płock, where it will branch off north towards Gdańsk and the Baltic Sea and west towards Schwedt in Germany. The aim of the pipeline is to increase the safety of oil supplies to Poland by increasing the number of directions from which oil is piped.

In the project DZP's Infrastructure & Energy Practice experts, Marcin Krakowiak, Aleksandra Auleytner, Anna Glapa and Irena Filipowicz, provided comprehensive legal advisory services in the notification proceedings regarding the planned state aid when the pre-notification application was drawn up, during the proceedings in which the Competition and Consumer Protection Office President issued an opinion, and also during the notification proceedings before the European Commission.
