DRAFT LAWS BY THE COUNCIL OF MINISTERS – SELECTED ISSUES

Abstract

The legislatives procedures and norms for law-making are the important elements of good governance. This results with an attempt to examine them from the perspective of Polish Council of Ministers. Such body – as a basic legislator in our political and legal system – keeps putting efforts in improving the legislative procedures. The goals phrased in a governmental programme „Better Regulations 2015” (the Council of Ministers’ resolution of 22.01.2013, no. 13/2013) may be pointed out as a good illustration of aforementioned efforts and approach. However, there is still a lot to be done in such area. For these reasons the paper focuses not solely on the range and the degree of the Council of Ministers’ involvement in legislative level, but also on some remarks de lege ferenda that may lead to increasing the transparency of the procedures and improving the quality of law.
