Opinia prawna na temat projektu uchwały w sprawie zmiany regulaminu Sejmu RP

The opinion concerns a draft resolution to amend the Standing Orders of the Sejm of the Republic of Poland. The principal purpose of the amendment was to abolish the requirement to seek an opinion of the minister competent for Republic of Poland’s membership in the European Union when considering matters concerning the conformity of provisions of the considered bills to the legislation of the European Union. Sponsors of the resolution justify the amendment on legal grounds, such as the need for implementation of the principle of separation of powers, and on extra‑legal grounds, such as the need for modernisation and restoration of functionality of the provision of opinions on legislative proposals. The author of the opinion challenges the arguments of the sponsors of the draft resolution, pointing out its lack of appropriate justification and possible inconsistency with the provisions of both the Constitution and the Act on the Branches of Government Administration.
