Summary/Abstract: In the opinion of the Sejm, the provisions of the Act conform to the Constitution. In its position the Sejm states that disclosing to third parties the contents of applications for financing scientific research submitted in proceedings under the Act as public information would pose a significant threat to the material and non-material interests of the authors of the applications. The assumption that the contents of the review and the personal data of experts may be disclosed as public information due to the loss of binding force of these provisions in the result of the judgment of the Constitutional Tribunal means that such persons would be exposed to effects that could not be foreseen at the time of the review.
