The European Commission is confident that Poland and Russia will find an agreement on a natural gas contract that will be in line with European Union rules, the commission said Tuesday.

"There is a good chance that a common position between Poland and Russia will be found that is in line with EU rules," a spokeswoman for the commission said during a routine press conference.

The commission said last week that it is examining the proposed natural gas contract between Poland and Russia , and is concerned that the accord wouldn't comply with EU rules.

Poland has been negotiating with Russia for more than a year and finally reached an agreement in December, although it hasn't yet been signed. The potential contract mainly concerns Russian gas flowing to Poland via the Yamal pipeline.
