Summary/Abstract: The analysis concerns the issue of whether a committee considering, based on the indicated provision, amendments submitted during the second reading, should vote on their acceptance or rejection separately for each amendment, or if it is possible, after consideration of the amendment, to automatically (without separate vote) draw a recommendation concerning other amendments, in case it is a logical consequence of acceptance or rejection of the former amendment. The author assessed that there are no obstacles to apply, at this stage of legislative work, per analogiam the institution of the third-reading voting applied in the first instance to the “most far-reaching amendments”, i.e. those whose adoption or rejection determines decision concerning other amendments.
