The opinion refers to the moment of the expiry of a mandate of a Deputy nominated for the position of an ambassador during the term. The function of an ambassador is incompatible with the Deputy’s mandate on the basis of Article 103 para. 1 of the Constitution. Importantly, the prohibition does not refer to taking the function and its actual performance, but to the change of a legal status of a person vested with the function. As regards the offices listed in the provision, Article 247 para. 1 item 6 of the Electoral Code shall be applied, which is the legal basis for ex lege expiry of a Deputy’s mandate. Against Article 103 para. 1 of the Constitution thus understood and the provisions of the Electoral Code, it is essential to specify the moment of entrusting the function, i.e. acquiring the status of an ambassador.

The concept of “a non-state economic entity”, referred to in Article 20 of the Act on the Exercise of the Mandate of a Deputy or Senator, causes difficulties with interpretation. A broad interpretation of that article, indicating that the category of entities to which the intervention may be addressed includes private-law entities, raises serious doubts in the context of the provisions of the Constitution. Moreover, it is not possible to enforce an obligation (imposed on a private entity) to response to the intervention undertaken in relation to it, and the impact of a Deputy on the issue underlying the intervention depends solely on the “power of authority” of the representative mandate.

Interpellation is one of the fundamental mechanisms ensuring parliamentary oversight of the government. An obligation to respond to interpellations is enshrined in the constitution. Information about non-response to interpellations are placed in the Information System of the Sejm. The body entrusted to supervise the execution by the government administration of the relevant obligations specified in the Act on the Exercise of the Mandate of a Deputy or Senator is the Marshal of the Sejm. The predominant form of responsibility of a minister for failure to comply with the obligation to reply to an interpellation is a political responsibility, including in particular the opportunity to submit a motion of no confidence in him/her by the Sejm. Due to the constitutional nature of the obligation to give response to an interpellation, any failure to meet that obligation may also be a prerequisite for initiation of the proceedings to hold the minister constitutionally responsible.

The opinion states that the council (sejmik) should “adopt a position” regarding comments and motions of a Deputy. However, motions submitted by the Deputy do not initiate - contrary Deputies’ interventions - any separate, formalized procedure for their consideration by councillors. If the Deputy put forward a motion regarding matters which, according to provisions of statutes or articles of organisation of a municipality (district, voivodship), fall within exclusive rights of councilors (e.g. a legislative initiative) or bodies of a given local government unit or other entities, the council (sejmik) cannot - as unacceptable – consider them. If they meet formal requirements and the way they are formulated enables putting them to a vote, the decision should be made in this form.

The opinion refers to a number of problems related to the statutory obligation to provide Deputies with information by representatives of state organs. The most important of the analyzed issues is the matter of legal measures at the disposal of a Deputy who decides that organs of the state do not realize or improperly realize their obligations in the scope of providing information on their activity.
