The aim of this article is to identify limitations of political independence of the Polish regulatory authorities. To that end the author presents the theoretical conception of political independence of regulatory authorities. Next, based on the EU directives in electronic communications and energy sectors, a standard of political independence of National Regulatory Authorities (NRAs) is established. Using such a standard the author examines Polish statutory provisions which may present a threat to the independence of regulatory authorities. The main thesis of the article is that the legal status of the Polish regulatory authorities does not guarantee the level of independence required by the EU legislator. Therefore, the author suggests that the Polish regulatory authorities be removed from the government administration and linked with the parliament. Lastly, the articles discusses the current trend in the EU legal order to gradually widen the political independence of NRAs and the problems arising therefrom and makes de lege ferenda proposals in that sphere.

The article assesses the compatibility of the new Tobacco Products Directive (TPD) with the Polish Constitution. It concludes that although the Polish Constitutional Tribunal remains in principle competent to review acts of EU law (including directives if certain conditions are met), the scope of such a review is very limited and consists only of assessing whether EU institutions acted within scope of the competences transferred to them. The same holds true for domestic measures which merely implement directives. As a consequence, any review of the TPD provisions will be very restricted and can hardly lead to their inapplicability on the Polish territory. The article also assesses the compatibility with the Polish Constitution of the plain packaging requirement, which is not provided for, but only suggested by the TPD. In this context, it concludes that the Tribunal will be fully competent to review any national measure that introduces such a restriction. Although the outcome of such a review cannot be predicted with certainty, the article posits that there are good grounds to believe that the plain packaging requirement will be considered constitutional (i.e. in particular with respect to those provisions of the Constitution which protect property and freedom of economic activity).
