Summary/Abstract: Due to the fact that EU regulations are directly applicable in the Member States’ legal systems, a number of obligations concerning personal data protection is based directly on the GDPR. Thus the governmental bill regulates such issues which have been passed to be regulated or modified by national law. In principle, the bill does not give rise to any legislative objections. However, the author points to some solutions which haven’t existed in the Polish legal system (e.g. one-instance proceedings before The Chairman of the Personal Data Protection Office), as well as to solutions which raise doubts regarding their conformity to the GDPR (such as a public authority’s decision being binding for common courts). Moreover it was pointed out that a whole evaluation of GDPR’s implementation would be possible with regard to all regulations in that matter, including a bill concerning amendments of specific statutes (which is in the process of governmental work).
