The cost of restructuring

World Coal,


Poland expects the costs of restructuring its ailing coal mining industry to be 2.3 billion zlotys (US$631.24 million) in 2015 – 2016. According to Reuters, the restructuring plan includs shutting down four coal mines owned by Europe's biggest coal producer Kompania Weglowa.

The government said in a statement that Kompania Weglowa's remaining nine mines would be transferred to a special purpose company owned by Polish coal trader Weglokoks.

Poland's state-owned coal mines have been struggling for months to return to profit as they cope with low coal prices, weak demand and high operating costs.
