The New Law on Business Activity
The article touches upon the current issue in Poland, namely the debate on the need of a new regulation of business activity. The Polish government issued a draft of Law on Business Activity in 2015. This fact provoked the author to discuss the topic, summing up the current state of the relevant law and presenting his own view on the possible changes. It is claimed that the new law is redundant, and instead there is a need to revise the law currently in force in order to bring it in line with European Law and to better structure specific matters. The fundamental questions which should be clarified contain: the proper structuring of basic concepts like ‘service’, ‘business activity’, ‘service provider’ and ‘undertaking’; the structuring of rules of control on undertakings; the issuing of new regulations on permissions to conduct business activity.
