Projekt rurociągu Odessa–Brody–Płock jako element zapewnienia bezpieczeństwa energetycznego Polski w myśli politycznej wybranych polskich partii politycznych w latach 2005–2015
Odessa–Brody–Płock Pipeline Project as an Element of Ensuring Poland’s Energy Security in the Political Thought of Selected Polish Political Parties in 2005–2015

Summary/Abstract: The construction of a more diversified crude oil supplies structure to Poland has been an important element influencing the Polish energy policy for years. Many political parties have raised the legitimacy of diversifying the sources and directions of supply of this commodity, and one of the most important projects in this area was the construction of a pipeline connecting the Polish and Ukrainian crude oil systems. Ultimately, the crude oil was to be imported from the Caspian Sea region. The article aims to analyse the political thought of Law and Justice, Civic Platform, and the Polish People’s Party regarding the construction of the Odessa–Brody–Płock pipeline to Poland. The considerations in the article make it possible to highlight the main arguments formulated by politicians of these political parties on the problems of supplying energy resources to Poland. The starting point of the analysis is the thesis that, in the opinion of Polish political parties, cooperation with the Caspian Sea countries was a key component of the efforts to diversify the sources and directions of crude oil supplies to domestic refineries.
