The legislature enjoys a wide discretion as to regulation of the conditions for granting of sickness allowance after termination of the entitlement for sickness insurance. Such allowance is of a unique nature, is not covered by the contribution and is paid in respect of events not covered by insurance risk and to an uninsured person. The author of the draft position points out the principle of equality and reciprocity is observed. The one who bears the greater burden, can expect greater support from the fund, for example an allowance is paid for each entitlement. The application of this principle cannot be extended to the period following the termination of the relation of sickness insurance. The allowance paid in such instance is not backed by the collected contribution and has exceptional nature. Therefore, the examined provision should be recognized as compatible with the principle of equality before the law. In the author view, the article in question is compatible with the Constitution.

The author, examining firstly the motion of the All Poland Alliance of Trade Unions, is in doubt on whether it is admissible to initiate abstract review of constitutionality of a norms by a trade union in the event that the application does not relate to the interests of its current members. Based on arguments given by the organs of the International Labour Organizations concerning the interpretation of the notion of worker wider than that contained in the Labour Code, the author claims that Article 2 of the Trade Union Act, within the scope specified in the application, is incompatible with Article 2 of Convention No. 87 ILO. Additionally, he points out that since the Convention No. 87 excludes from its scope only the armed forces and the police, then more far‑reaching limitations under the abovementioned Act are inconsistent with Article 59 para. 1 of the Constitution. Consequently, Article 2 of the Trade Union Act is also incompatible with Article 59 para. 1 of the Constitution and Article 12 which is functionally linked to it.

An explanation for the President’s application of 10 February 2012 and the application of the Ombudsman of 14 February 2012 (file K 9/12), written on behalf of the Polish Sejm pursuant to Article 34 Paragraph 1 in connection with Article 27 paragraph 2 of the Act of 1 August 1997 on the Constitutional Tribunal (Journal of Laws No. 102, item. 643 as amended.) and also putting forward a motion to dismiss the proceedings under Article 39 Paragraph 1 point 1 of the Constitutional Tribunal Act.

In this position the Polish Sejm declares Article 26, para. 1 of the Act on Fire Protection to be consistent with the constitutional principle of social justice laid down in Article 2 and Article 32 para. 1 of the Constitution. In support of this argument, it was considered that a volunteer firefighter who, in connection with participation in the rescue operations or exercises, has suffered bodily injury and became temporarily unable to work, is entitled to sickness benefit equal to 80% of the base amount, and not – like members of professional firefighting units – up to 100% of the base amount of sickness benefit for an accident at work. Members of VFBs do not practice the profession of firefighter and, therefore, are not entitled to the accident insurance that guarantees 100% reimbursement of lost earnings in the event of an accident at work. In the author’s view, Article 32 para. 3 subpara. 2 of the Act on Fire Protection provides that the municipality is obliged to insure members of the volunteer fire department, therefore on a normative level their insurance is considered as sufficient.

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.

With the entry into force of Regulation (EU) 2017/2402 of the European Parliament and of the Council of 12 December 2017 on establishing a general framework for securitization and creating a specific framework for simple, transparent and standardized securitization, and amending Directives 2009/65 / EC, 2009/138 / EC and 2011/61 / EU and Regulations (EC) No 1060/2009 and (EU) No 648/2012 (Official Journal EU L 347 of 28.12.2017, pp. 35–80), hereinafter 'Regulation 2017/2402' the securitization legal status has been modified. The activities of participants in this process have been supervised. The supervision is exercised by the Polish Financial Supervision Authority. Thus, supervised entities became entities not only from traditional financial market segments: banking, capital and insurance. An important, especially for the Polish market, new obligation is reporting, the principles of which have been set out in the Regulation. This analysis concerns this obligation and the way it is supervised, including sanctioning its failure to comply.

Wraz z wejściem w życie rozporządzenia Parlamentu Europejskiego i Rady (UE) 2017/2402 z 12.12.2017 r. w sprawie ustanowienia ogólnych ram dla sekurytyzacji oraz utworzenia szczególnych ram dla prostych, przejrzystych i standardowych sekurytyzacji, a także zmieniającego dyrektywy 2009/65/WE, 2009/138/WE i 2011/61/UE oraz rozporządzenia (WE) nr 1060/2009 i (UE) nr 648/2012 (Dz.Urz. UE L 347 z 28.12.2017, s. 35–80), dalej „rozporządzenie 2017/2402”, na nowo został ukształtowany stan prawny dotyczący sekurytyzacji. Działalność uczestników tego procesu została objęta nadzorem, który jest sprawowany przez Komisję Nadzoru Finansowego. Tym samym podmiotami nadzorowanymi stały się również podmioty niepochodzące z tradycyjnych segmentów rynku finansowego: bankowego, kapitałowego oraz ubezpieczeniowego. Istotnym, w szczególności dla rynku polskiego, nowym obowiązkiem jest sprawozdawczość, której zasady zastały określone w rozporządzeniu. Niniejsza analiza dotyczy tego obowiązku oraz sposobu jego nadzorowania, w tym sankcjonowania jego niedochowania.

In the presented project of a position, the author indicates that listed provisions of the act on pensions and allowances from the Fund of Social Insurances are compliant with Article 32 para. 1 of Polish Constitution concerning situation of persons born before the 1st January 1949. The author notes that the differentiating criterion is a presence in one of two separated by a date of birth legal systems of social insurance. The legislator could differentiate legal situation of persons receiving benefits in the system of defined benefit and persons insured, whose pensions shall be paid in a system of defined contribution. In accordance with argumentation “ad maiori ad minus”, if the Constitution allows for a creation of a less favorable legal situation of some insured persons distinguished by their age, a change in favor of insured persons concerning rules of qualifying the time when they did not work, but cared for their children should also be acceptable.

Provisions of the Act on Pensions from the Social Insurance Fund are contested by a citizen in an the extent that they grant the right to working disability pension not earlier than from a month in which the application was submitted, conform to the Constitution. A contradiction with Article 67 para. 1 of the Constitution, is perceived by the complainant in the assumption that the date from which the claim for payment of social security benefits may be requested, is the date of submission of the application instead of the date of an invalidity and the resulting working disability. In the complainant’s case there was a large difference between the time when the terms of acquiring the right to a pension were fulfilled and the moment in which when the application for the benefit was submitted. The legislator, in the case of retirement benefits, including permanent disability pensions, assumed as a rule that the right to retirement and working disability benefits arises from the date of meeting the conditions required to acquire that right
