Poland loses seven times at the EU's top court – the Yorkshire Terrier knows coal from below
Der Hündeler, Edition of Thursday, 12 November 2026 (edition 2)
What happened
The European Court of Justice has dismissed all seven legal challenges brought by Poland against the EU climate package known as “Fit for 55”. Poland had taken action against the legislative package adopted in 2023. The rules are intended to make Europe climate-neutral by the middle of the century.
What does this mean for your Yorkshire Terrier?
The Yorkshire Terrier hails from the north of England, where it once caught rats in coal mines and textile mills. It knows coal from an angle no energy minister has ever seen: eight inches above the floor of the pit. It is therefore under no illusion about how long it takes to give coal up. Britain needed decades, and the Yorkshire Terrier ended up in a handbag. Seven dismissed cases strike it not as defeat but as stamina. It has barked at the postman for years without a single result and has never once considered dropping the matter. For Yorkies in Switzerland, the ruling changes nothing: Switzerland is not in the EU, and a handbag counts as carbon-neutral as long as somebody else carries it.
What you can do now: Leave the handbag at home for once. Three kilos can make it to the dog-waste bin on their own legs.
