<s>[INST] The next text is a question of a member of the European parliament:"On 7March2013, Le Monde(1) published an article reporting that Electricité de France (EDF) is contesting the Commission’s decision of July2012 regarding transitional free allocation of emission allowances to the Polish power sector, and the related National Investment Plan.  In its decision, the Commission rejected the idea of including EDF’s coal-fired power plant ‘Rybnik’ in the National Investment Plan because it would not contribute to the modernisation of the Polish energy system. This decision prevents the Rybnik plant from benefiting from a state aid package of EUR7.1billion.   1.Can the Commission confirm whether it has been approached by EDF with a request to (partly) reverse its decision of July2012 on transitional free allocation to the Polish power sector, in particular regarding the Rybnik coal plant?  2.Have representatives of France approached the Commission regarding the Rybnik power plant?  3.Have representatives of Poland approached the Commission regarding the Rybnik power plant?

EDF, qui a déjà investi 100 millions d’euros dans les études préparatoires pour construire cette unité, conteste cette décision’."
