2 Lobbying Regulations- Towards Transparency – Polish Experience Juliusz Galkowski (POLAND)

3 Polish Lobbying Law The new Act on Legislative and Regulatory Lobbying was passed by the Parliament in July 2005 and came into force on 7 March 2006. The Act promotes transparency principally in the law-making process; this is a key step to improving transparency in the entire public administration and all legislation.

4 Polish Lobbying Law - definition “Lobbying activities” consist of actions conducted by legally admissible methods that seek to influence public authorities in the law-making process. Lobbying activities aim to ensure that the arguments and interests of social and professional groups are taken into account in the decisions of public officials. Lobbying may also be practiced by organisations and associations with the objective of protecting and promoting the interests of their members.

5 Polish Lobbying Law - definition “Professional lobbying activity,” means lobbying on behalf of other persons in exchange for money. As construed in the law, professional lobbying activities consist of gainful lobbying activities conducted on behalf of third parties for pursuing their interests in the law-making process. Professional lobbying activity may be exercised on the basis of a civil law contract by an entrepreneur or by a physical person who is not an entrepreneur.

6 Polish Lobbying Law – program of legislative work Every six months, the Government shall prepare and publish on the web site of the Public Information Bulletin (BIP - Biuletyn Informacji Publicznej) the programme of legislative work concerning draft laws. These plans are to be drawn up by the Council of Ministers, the Chairman of the Council of Ministers, and by the individual ministers. Draft laws and ordinances should be disclosed in the BIP

7 Polish Lobbying Law – public hearing After publication, anyone shall be able to submit “notification of interest” (on an official form) in the work on the draft laws or ordinance to the body responsible for the preparation of such a draft. Such notification shall also be published in the BIP. Subsequently, the notifying party shall be able to present an opinion concerning the specific draft during the “public hearing”.

8 Polish Lobbying Law – additional requirements New Act include requirements to furnish information on assistants and voluntary assistants of parliamentarians and ministers, employees of political cabinets of ministers and staff of the parliamentary caucuses.
