During its August 4, 2026 meeting, the Polish Council of Ministers adopted a comprehensive legislative package introducing unified sanctions, a national mediator registry, and administrative deregulatoin. <\/p>\n
The Council of Ministers met on August 4, 2026, to evaluate the implementation of state strategic goals and review a series of legislative projects impacting citizens, entrepreneurs, and public institutions. Ministers reviewed a report on the execution of government priorities for the second quarter of 2026 before adopting bills covering sanction systems, judicial mediation, penalty execution, and administrative procedure deregulation. Information regarding the status of 58 government priorities was presented in the quarterly monitoring report.<\/p>\n
The government reviewed a document detailing the execution of 58 key state priorities prepared to monitor progress in major projects handled by individual ministries and to evaluate the fulfillment of strategic administration objectives. The document encompasses actions related to state security, digitalization, economic development, and the improvement of public service quality.<\/p>\n
One of the primary projects adopted by the Council of Ministers was the Act on Restrictive Measures, designed to create uniform rules for applying EU and national sanctions within Poland. Previously, regulations were scattered across various legal acts, complicating enforcement for state authorities and businesses alike. The new regulations define institutional competences, cooperation rules, information exchange procedures, and establish criminal penalties for violating or circumventing restrictions, alongside frameworks for national security-related measures and countering foreign information manipulation.<\/p>\n
The government also adopted a draft bill concerning court mediators, mediation training institutions, and the National Register of Mediators to organize the judicial mediation system and increase public trust in alternative dispute resolution methods. A key element is the creation of an electronic National Register of Mediators replacing scattered court-maintained lists, granting citizens free access to up-to-date information on mediator qualifications, experience, and specializations while introducing uniform training standards and professional requirements.<\/p>\n
Another approved project is an amendment to the Executive Penal Code aimed at expanding opportunities to serve prison sentences under the electronic monitoring system. This solution is intended to increase resocialization efficiency, lower prison operational costs, and allow a larger number of convicts to maintain professional activity while serving their sentences as part of long-term efforts to modernize Poland’s penal system.<\/p>\n
The Council of Ministers approved a draft amendment to the Pharmaceutical Law prepared by the Ministry of Health as part of a legislative package intended to streamline the pharmaceutical market and adjust existing regulations to current healthcare sector requirements, with detailed solutions to be presented at subsequent legislative stages.<\/p>\n
Among the deregulation projects was an amendment to the National Court Register (KRS) Act designed to reduce administrative burdens through further digitalization and increased electronic document circulation. The government expects these solutions to accelerate registration proceedings and lower costs incurred by businesses as part of a broader program simplifying economic procedures.<\/p>\n
The second deregulation project adopted by the Council of Ministers is an amendment to the Environmental Protection Law and related statutes aimed at simplifying administrative procedures while preserving environmental protection standards. The solutions are intended to assist entrepreneurs and investors in carrying out ventures requiring environmental decisions while limiting unnecessary formalities.<\/p>\n
Adoption by the Council of Ministers concludes the governmental stage of legislative work, with bills next directed to the Sejm for parliamentary processing. Changes concerning sanctions, judicial mediation, and administrative deregulation hold particular significance as they address both state security and the daily operations of businesses and citizens alike, illustrating the government’s dual focus on security, judicial improvement, and procedural simplification.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
