Poland "somewhat concerned" over German-Russian gas accord: FM

Poland is "somewhat concerned" over the agreement reached between Germany and Russia on energy supplies, Polish Foreign Minister Anna Fotyga said Wednesday.

The foreign minister's comment followed Tuesday's gas talks between Russian President Vladimir Putin and German Chancellor Angela Merkel, during which Putin offered extra supplies of 50-55 billion cubic meters of gas to Germany.

"This is an accord between two strong partners, both of whom neighbor on Poland. Potentially it may disrupt the existing rules of cooperation within the EU," Fotyga was quoted by the Polish News Agency as saying.

She added that Poland was "monitoring" energy talks between Germany and Russia.
