(ANSA-AFP) - BRUXELLES, FEB 8 - The European Commission said Tuesday it will this month take the unprecedented step of cutting EU money earmarked for Poland to pay a near 15-million-euro fine Warsaw racked up for refusing to close a lignite mine. The EU executive has informed Poland of the move, which will happen next week, a commission spokesman, Balazs Ujvari, told AFP. (ANSA-AFP).
