Reuters: Polish plan on EU Russian gas buying gaining support

Poland's call for European Union nations to work together in price negotiations with Russian natural gas exporter Gazprom is gaining support spurred by the crisis in neighbouring Ukraine.

Following a tour of European capitals to drum up backing, Polish Prime Minister Donald Tusk was invited to Brussels last week to present his idea at a conference on energy security alongside top European Commission officials.

Tusk argued that just as it took the euro zone crisis to make a banking union happen, the Ukraine crisis should lead to an energy union.

"The only way to overcome crisis is by going for a European approach," he said.
