Jędrzej Graf, Defence24.pl: late signed an agreement with the Investment Department of the North Atlantic Treaty Organisation to join Poland in the CEPS (Central Europe Pipeline System) fuel pipeline system, built by NATO. What is the importance of this agreement for securing the logistics of own and allied troops in Poland? Gen. Dariusz Mendrala, Head of IWsz SZ: The issue of the expansion of CEPS and fuel accompanying infrastructure is fundamental to the logistical capacity of the armed forces, and thus the safety of the state. The expected effect of this expansion is to diversify the sources of supply of energy resources and to increase the retention capacity of fuel products. The decision taken by NATO to appoint the first measures to plan CEPS is so of any groundbreaking, even historical importance. The NATO authorities have recognised that, despite the widespread trend of seeking alternatives to fossil fuels, the launch of specified a immense and costly investment as the expansion of the fuel pipeline strategy is inactive of crucial operational importance and from this position is simply a legitimate and worth investing NATO common funds. As a consequence of the planned expansion of fuel infrastructure, the retention and rotation capacity of fuels will be increased and the time essential for the adoption of mass quantities of petroleum products reduced to a minimum.
