This opinion deals with the relationship between the requirement for suspension of legislative work specified the notification procedure and the determination of the date of entry into force of a government bill amending the Act on the Protection of Health against the Consequences of the Use of Tobacco and Tobacco Products. According to the author, the provisions, which may unambiguously be considered as those implementing Directive 2014/40/EU, can be entered into force and effect on 20 May 2016, because they are exempted from the notification obligation under Directive 2015/1535. In contrast, the provisions of the bill, which implement the provisions of Directive 2014/40/EU, but at the same time leave regulatory discretion to the national legislature, as well as the provisions of the bill that go beyond the objective of implementation of this Directive, should not be adopted before 1 July 2016.
