The article deals with immunity of Members of Parliament in collegial extra-parliamentary bodies in which their participation is required by the provisions of the Constitution or statutes. The author poses the question of whether such activities may be considered as “parliamentary activities” i.e. those falling within the scope of the exercise of their mandate (and therefore subject, in particular, to protection by parliamentary non-liability or material immunity) or rather the performance “other public function” (which results only in their protection by inviolability or formal immunity)? The Act on the Exercise of the Mandate of a Deputy or Senator does not give a defi nitive answer to this question. The author points to the relevant jurisprudence of the Supreme Court and the Constitutional Tribunal. The main criterion for distinguishing between “acting as Member of Parliament” and performance of “other public function” is the existence of a connection between the functions of a given body and the functions of parliament. In the author’s opinion, there are four of such bodies in Poland, of which only participation in the Council of Labour Protection is considered as parliamentary activity, whereas participation in the National Council of the Judiciary, the National Prosecution Council and Civil Service Council is considered as performance of “other public function”

Wobec niskich standardów życia publicznego istnienie i działalność Komisji Etyki Poselskiej stanowią niezbędne aspekty polskiego parlamentaryzmu. Głównym, chociaż nie jedynym, zadaniem Komisji Etyki Poselskiej jest reagowanie na działania posłów naruszających przyjęte w 1997 r. Zasady Etyki Poselskiej. Po ponad dwudziestu latach doświadczeń Komisji można wskazać obszary, w których dostrzegalne są dysfunkcje np. skład komisji, mechanizm wymierzania i rodzaj wymierzanych kar. Dokonaną w 2018 r. zmianą regulaminu Sejmu, wprowadzono także nowy mechanizm egzekwowania wobec posłów odpowiedzialności za działania naruszające standardy etyczne mające miejsce podczas posiedzeń izby, jak i na terenie podlegającym Kancelarii Sejmu, co w praktyce pozwala mówić o dualizmie odpowiedzialności.

Considering the poor standards of public life, the existence and functioning of the Deputies’ Ethics Committee constitute essential elements of the Polish parliamentarism. Although not the only one, the principal task of the Deputies’ Ethics Committee is to react to the actions of deputies that violate the rules of ethics of deputies adopted in 1997. After more than 20 years of the Committee’s operation, we can identify areas where there are noticeable dysfunctions, e.g. the composition of the Committee, the mechanism of imposing penalties and their type. With the 2018 amendment to the Standing Orders of the Sejm, a new mechanism was also introduced to hold deputies accountable for actions violating ethical standards occurring during sessions of the chamber as well as on the premises under the authority of the Chancellery of the Sejm, effectively allowing us to speak of a duality of accountability.
