Petitioning the Parliament in the Federal Republic of Germany is seen as one of the fundamental rights. The article provides an analysis of the right of petition specified expressly in Article 17 of the Basic Law for the Federal Republic of Germany which authorizes “everyone” to address written “requests” or “complaints” to “competent authorities” and to the “representation of the nation”. The right of petition is also provides all constitutions of the Länder. Petition is a request or complaint made on one’s own behalf, for third parties or in the general interest. Request is demand and proposal for act or omission by organs of state, authorities or other institutions discharging public functions. In particular it may include proposal for legislation. Complaint shall consist in objection to act and omission by organs of state, authorities or other institutions discharging public functions. It should be emphasized that there are different types of petitions: multiple petitions, collective petitions, mass petitions and public petitions. Public petition is a new form of a petition in the 21st century. It may be submitted to the Petitions Committee by anyone, either individually or jointly with others, using the form provided. Public petitions are published on the Petitions Committee’s webpage. Every natural person and every legal person under private law resident in Germany has the right of petition. The right of petition can be restricted for members of the armed forces. The right of petition does not depend on the one’s personal circumstances, such as nationality. Even legal capacity is not required in order to exercise the right of petition, however the petitioner have to express his concern intelligibly. Article 45c of the Basic Law obliges the Bundestag to appoint a Petitions Committee to deal with petitions addressed to the Bundestag. “A Law on the Powers of the Petitions Committee of the German Bundestag of 19 July 1975”, “Rules of Procedure of the German Bundestag” and “Principles of the Petitions Committee governing the Treatment of Requests and Complaints of 8 March 1989” regulate the committee’s powers. The Petitions Committee can in particular: request comments from the Federal Government and hear government representatives, require official bodies to provide it with files, visit federal institutions. The Petitions Committee cannot intervene in conflicts between individual citizens under private law, it also cannot review court judgments or other court decisions. As soon as the facts of the case raised by a petition have been clarified and the legal situation has been assessed, the Petitions Committee presents a recommendation for a resolution on how the petition should be dealt with conclusively before the plenary of the Bundestag. The recommendation as to how the Bundestag should deal with a petition conclusively may include in particular: referral to the Federal Government for remedial action or for re-examination, referral as background material, forwarding to the European Parliament. Once the resolution has been adopted by the plenary, the petitioner is sent an official reply setting out the decision reached and the grounds on which it was taken.

The article contains an analysis of the hitherto realisation of the constitutional right of petition by the Sejm of the Republic of Poland. With the entry into force of the Act of 11 July 2014 on petitions, public authorities, including the Sejm, became obliged to consider petitions. In the Sejm, Petition Committee was established as the organ competent to consider petitions submitted to the lower chamber of the parliament. The Committee was appointed at the end of the seventh term of the Sejm, but commenced its substantive activity only at the beginning of the eighth term. Until the end of 2018, Petition Committee altogether considered 393 petitions submitted to the Sejm in the years 2015–2018. In the article such issues are discussed, related to petitions considered by Petition Committee, as: specifying entities exercising the right to petition, the subject of petitions and procedure for considering them. The analysis is based on the materials documenting the works and the course of the sittings of the Sejm Petition Committee during the eighth term, in the years 2015–2018.

The purpose the article is to characterize the Act of 11 July 2014 on Petitions. An analysis of the legislation has been combined with an assessment in accordance with an essential criterion of respect for the principles of correct legislation. The fundamental fl aw of the Act is that the terms of refe rence of both a petition and a request, as regulated by the Code of Administrative Procedure, remain in a logical cross-relationship. The author proposes that making claims in letters be qualifi ed as bringing a petition or an application in accordance with the criteria reconstructed from the provisions of the Act on Petitions and the Code of Administrative Procedure. The author also examines the relationship between the Act on Petitions and other legislation currently in force, by determining the scope of their operation. The article contains a proposal for interpretation of the provisions of the Act on Petitions along with de lege ferenda proposals.

The purpose of the article is not to comprehensively analyse the right of petition, but to expose its addressees. The issue is not solely of theoretical nature, as it results from problems which have arisen in the practice of applying the right. The authors pose the question on the ability of the organs of public administration and public legal persons to submit petitions in view of both Polish and European Union legislation.

Petitioning is one of the basic rights. Pursuant to Article 63 of the Constitution of the Republic of Poland everyone has the right to submit petitions, proposals and complaints in the public interest, in one’s own interest or in the interests of another person – with this person’s consent – to organs of public authority, as well as to organisations and social institutions regarding matters connected with the performance of their prescribed duties within the field of public administration. The procedure for considering petitions is specified in the Act of 11 July 2014 on petitions (Dziennik Ustaw 2014, item 1195). This act came into force on 6 September 2015. The purpose of this article is to show the origins of the Polish petitioning legislation and, particularly, to provide a critical analysis of the act on petitions. The results of the analysis allow to draw up a conclusion that the solutions currently adopted lack clarity and precision. The main critical argument is that the act does not define the term of petition in an explicit and unambiguous way. Ipso facto it also fails to eliminate doubts related to the relationships between petitions and complaints or proposals.

Składanie petycji jest jednym z podstawowych praw. Zgodnie z art. 63 Konstytucji RP każdy ma prawo składać petycje, wnioski i skargi w interesie publicznym, własnym lub innej osoby za jej zgodą do organów władzy publicznej oraz do organizacji i instytucji społecznych w związku z wykonywanymi przez nie zadaniami zleconymi z zakresu administracji publicznej. Tryb rozpatrywania petycji, wniosków i skarg określa ustawa. Procedura rozpatrywania petycji określona jest w ustawie z 11 lipca 2014 r. o petycjach (Dz.U. 2014, poz. 1195). Akt ten wszedł w życie 6 września 2015 r. Celem niniejszego artykułu jest przedstawienie genezy polskiego ustawodawstwa dotyczącego petycji, a zwłaszcza krytyczna analiza ustawy o petycjach. Analiza ustawy o petycjach prowadzi do wniosku, iż przyjęte rozwiązania dalekie są od jasności i precyzji. Główny zarzut związany jest z tym, że ustawa nie definiuje w sposób wyraźny i jednoznaczny pojęcia petycji, a tym samym nie usuwa wątpliwości co do wzajemnych relacji między petycjami a skargami i wnioskami.
