Balanced News: EC approves Polish aid scheme to support companies

The European Commission has approved the aid scheme worth 3 billion euro to support companies in the Polish natural gas market. Under the scheme, Poland will support small and medium-sized enterprises (SMEs) and large companies in the gas market, with financial institutions excluded from the aid scheme.
