Leaving the European Union by the United Kingdom will cause changes in the Treaty on the European Union as well as in the Treaty on the Functioning of the European Union. These changes are covered by the ordinary legislative procedure which includes the necessity of their ratification by Poland. The Sejm may take a position on Brexit, however it should take into account the role of the Council of Ministers in foreign policy. The result of UK’s withdrawal from the EU will be a considerable number of changes in the Polish legislation. Due to their scope as well as short time constraints, work on these issues should be held parallelly with negotiations on Brexit.

The essence of the analyzed problem is expressed in the need to decide which procedure for ratification as provided in the Constitution, applies to this Treaty because of its legal nature and the underlying content, especially in connection with the concept of transfer of powers to the European Union. In accordance with the provisions of the Constitution, an appropriate procedure for ratification by the Republic of Poland of the Treaty of Accession of the Republic of Croatia is its ratification by the President of the Republic with prior consent granted by statute (under the Article 89 paragraph 1 of the Constitution).

The provisions of the Constitution concerning the procedure for granting consent to ratification of international agreements do not give a definite answer to the question whether the Treaty of accession of Croatia to the European Union should require prior consent granted by statute according to Article 89 para 1 of the Constitution or whether Article 90 of the Constitution should be applied. The author examines the arguments for and against both possibilities and finds the former more convincing.

The author examines the procedure for granting consent to ratification of international agreements in relation to the Treaty of accession of Croatia to the European Union. In accordance with the rule of systemic application of the Constitution, the procedure for granting consent to ratification of the Treaty should, to the greatest possible extent, respect the principle of state sovereignty and sovereignty of the nation and, therefore, the procedure specified in Article 90 of the Constitution should be applied.

The submitted bill raises serious legal concerns. In the sense of international law, Poland is already legally bound by the ATP Agreement on the basis of accession and the resolution adopted by the Council of Ministers on 30 October 1982. From the perspective of the Constitution and international law which binds Poland, ratification of the Agreement without prior giving notice of denunciation is unacceptable. The author proposes three alternatives: the publication of the full text ad ATP Agreement, the ratification of the amendments to the ATP Agreement or denunciation of the Agreement under Article 12 thereof together with its ratification of the co-existing with the changes in accordance with Article 89 para. 1 of the Constitution.

In the case pending before the Constitutional Tribunal, a review is to be carried out in relation to the statute granting consent for ratification by the President of the Republic of Poland of the European Council Decision of 25 March 2011 amending Article 136 of the Treaty on the Functioning of the European Union with regard to a stability mechanism for Member States whose currency is the euro. Article 90 in conjunction with Article 120 the first sentence in fine of Polish Constitution and Article 48 (6) of the Treaty on European Union are invoked as a standard for the review. In the opinion of the Sejm, those standards for the review are inadequate. In relation to other matters, the Sejm applies for discontinuance of the proceedings due to inadmissibility of making a decision.

The opinion provides an assessment of the correctness of the choice by the Council of Ministers of the procedure for ratification of the Protocol on the concerns of the Irish people on the Treaty of Lisbon, done at Brussels on 13 June 2012 (the so-called Irish Protocol). As a consequence of the Irish Parliament’s expectations relating to the protection of certain values and interests, which are of vital importance for Ireland and constitute a condition sine qua non of the ratification of the Treaty of Lisbon, the development of the above mentioned Protocol and ratification thereof by all EU member states has proved to be necessary. The author claims that there are no grounds for the application of the procedure specified in Article 90 of the Constitution of the Republic of Poland, instead of the procedure referred to in Article 89 (1) of the Constitution (i.e. with prior consent granted in statute).

The opinion deals with the procedure for ratification of the title agreement and the Council of Ministers’ position that the ratification of the Agreement does not require prior consent granted in a statute. The author provides an analysis of the legal character of the Agreement and assesses the procedure proposed for its ratification. She examines whether any conditions specified in Article 89 (1) of the Constitution of the Republic of Poland (which would justify its ratification with prior consent granted in a statute) are satisfied. The author concludes that the ratification procedure specified in Article 89 (2) of the Constitution, as proposed by the Council of Ministers, is appropriate.

The author of the opinion points out that the Council Decision 2020/2053 imposes a significant financial burden on the state and concerns matters regulated by statute or matters for which the Polish Constitution requires a statute, and as such may not be ratified without consent expressed by statute. The ratification of the Decision, due to the fact that through it the competencies of state authorities are transferred to the European Union in certain matters, should be conducted in accordance with Article 90 of the Polish Constitution.
EN
In the author’s opinion, on the grounds of the Constitution it is not possible to ratify the Council’s decision without the consent expressed in a law by the Sejm and the Senate. This decision causes a significant financial burden on the state and concerns matters for which the Constitution requires a statute. The Council’s decision has the effect of transferring to an international organization the competences of public authorities in certain matters. The author of the opinion estimates that the best form of expressing consent to the ratification of the decision of the Council would be to determine the mode of nationwide referendum by the Sejm.

In determining the correct procedure for ratification of Council Decision 2020/2053, the author has analysed the provisions of Polish law and European Union law. In the author’s opinion, on the basis of the Council Decision there is no transfer of powers of state authorities within the meaning of Article 90 of the Constitution. Therefore, in Polish conditions this will mean the requirement of the application of the so-called “large” ratification, referred to in Article 89 para. 1 of the Constitution. Such a solution is supported both by the substantive content of the provisions contained in Council Decision 2020/2053, the previous practice of ratifying Council Decisions on the system of own resources of the EU, as well as the order to apply a “pro-EU” interpretation.

In the opinion of the author, the European Council Decision 2020/2053 does not determine new competencies of the Union, but only the creation of new financial instruments to implement political priorities or better reflect the importance of the general budget. It does, however, impose a significant financial burden on the state, and thus meets the criteria for ratification of an international agreement set forth in the Polish Constitution in Article 89 para. 1 subpara. 4. It is therefore not permissible for the Decision to be ratified solely by the President of the Republic of Poland without the consent of the Sejm and the Senate expressed in a statute.

The author points out that the Council Decision 2020/2053 requires ratification in accordance with the law of Member States. In the case of Poland it should be the procedure specified in Article 89 para. 1 of the Constitution, therefore requiring a prior consent granted in a statute. This mode has to be chosen to avoid imposing a significant financial burden on the state and because of earlier practice regarding the ratification of such decisions. The author excludes the possibility of the so called great ratification (Article 90 of the Constitution, majority of 2/3 votes in the Sejm), because the decision does not grant any new powers to the Union.

The Council’s decision regarding a uniform rate of collection for the unrecycled mass of plastic packaging waste, the digital fee and the incurrence of debt by the European Commission does not result in any transfer of competence from the Member States to the European Union. The lack of such transfer excludes the necessity of applying Article 90 of the Constitution (the so called the great ratification, majority of 2/3 votes in the Sejm). However, because the ratification would cause a significant financial burden on the state, the decision should be ratified pursuant to Article 89 para. 1 of the Constitution, i.e. by means of a statute.

The author, after analysing the contents of the Council Decision 2020/2053 in the light of national, European and international law, states that the decision does not levy any new taxes on the member states and does not grant the Union any new powers. In her opinion, the decision includes only a temporary authorisation for the European Commission to take out loans. Therefore, the author believes the decision needs to be ratified pursuant to Article 89 para. 1 of the Constitution, i.e. it requires a prior consent granted in a statute. She rejects the opinion that the decision should be ratified pursuant to Article 90 of the Constitution.

A ratification act is a special normative act, although it is adopted as an ordinary statute. It is of a procedural and episodic nature. It expresses the consent of the parliament to ratify an international agreement by the President. It should not be amended beyond the scope of this consent. Only minor editorial changes are allowed.
EN
According to the author, the ratification act is a specific statute aimed only at adopting a given agreement. It should contain the President’s authorisation to ratify it and the date of entry into force. Any changes and substantive corrections should be considered inadmissible. The contents of the agreement should be changed at the international, rather than the national, level.
EN
The author, following an analysis of the above‑mentioned Agreement, claims that Article 10 thereof, containing taxation provisions, meets the requirements of Article 89 (1) (5) of the Constitution. In his view, the Agreement should be ratified upon prior consent granted by statute, which means that the procedure for its ratification proposed by the Council of Ministers (on the basis of Article 89(2)) is improper.
