“I am honoured to join the Europex Board as a representative of the Polish commodity exchange, and to be given an opportunity to work for the benefit of all exchanges associated in Europex in this pivotal moment for the European energy policy. This is both a tremendous responsibility and challenge which I am taking on with full awareness. Importantly, my presence in the association’s authorities is also the recognition of the activity of TGE as such, which is perceived as a modern organisation that not only underpins the domestic wholesale trading but also has an important voice in the European energy security debate” concluded Jarosław Ziębiec.
