Uczestnictwo osób poniżej 18. roku życia w posiedzeniach komisji sejmowych
Attendance of persons under 18 years of age at sittings of committees of the Sejm

Summary/Abstract: The opinion emphasises that the Standing Orders of the Sejm do not explicitly refer to the participation of persons under the age of 18 (children, minors) in the sittings of committees of the Sejm. Many of the factors analysed suggest that this issue should be regulated in an unambiguous manner. It can therefore be proposed that appropriate provisions on the participation of children in committee sittings, modelled, for example, on the provisions governing their participation in court or administrative proceedings, be introduced into the Standing Orders of the Sejm. Until then, the active participation of children in the work of committees of the Sejm should be excluded on the grounds of the potential risk of harm to their welfare.
