Speaking to reporters after a meeting in Budapest between Central European prime ministers and the president of South Korea, Morawiecki said that rising prices of gas had been one of the issues on the agenda.
"We are appealing to the European Commission to investigate very thoroughly the nature of Gazprom's pricing manipulations, as well as the manipulations taking place in the European Union's CO2-emissions trading system (ETS)," Morawiecki said, as quoted by Poland's PAP news agency.
After last month's EU summit, European Commission President Ursula von der Leyen said Brussels would consider the feasibility of creating strategic reserves of gas and if the bloc's members could buy the resource together, the Polish state news agency reported.
She also pledged the EU's executive would analyse the functioning of the gas, power and ETS markets amid rising energy prices.
Morawiecki told reporters following Thursday's "V4+South Korea" summit that the Asian country was an important partner for Central Europe's Visegrad Group, which consists of Poland, Hungary, Slovakia and the Czech Republic.
He added that trade ties between the Visegrad Group and South Korea were deepening all the time, with Poland eager to work together in sectors such as high tech and production of batteries.
Morawiecki told the news conference that the Budapest meeting also explored climate issues, the situation in Iraq and Afghanistan, and migrant pressures.
"The policy of our Visegrad Group towards migrants is, in fact, part of the EU mainstream today," Morawiecki stated.
At the Budapest summit, the Polish prime minister convened with his V4 counterparts before they were joined for a plenary session and a working lunch by South Korea's Moon Jae-in, PAP reported.
While in Budapest on Thursday, Morawiecki also talked privately with Moon Jae-in and then with Hungarian Prime Minister Viktor Orban, public broadcaster Polish Radio's IAR news agency reported.
Piotr Müller, the spokesman for the Polish government, told reporters ahead of the summit that South Korean firms were "increasingly involved" in infrastructure and manufacturing projects in Poland.
South Korea is Poland's second-biggest trade partner in Asia, reporters were told.
Thursday's "V4+South Korea" meeting was hosted by Hungary, which holds the year-long rotating presidency of the regional Visegrad Group until mid-2022.
The previous such get-together took place in 2015 in Prague.
