Summary/Abstract: The main purpose for submission of the above-mentioned bill is the need for full implementation by Poland of Directive 2006/21/EC of the European Parliament and of the Council of 15 March 2006 on the management of waste from extractive industries and to introduce into the Polish legal system some implementing decisions the European Commission adopted on the basis of Directive 2006/21/EC. In the author’s view, there is need to insert a transitional provision under which administrative cases being the subject of administrative proceedings initiated on the basis of the Act on Extractive Waste, the Act – Environmental Protection Law and the Act on Waste, but not concluded before the day of entry into force of the bill would be heard and resolved on the basis of provisions existing to date (and also by the entities previously having jurisdiction in such cases). The author also offers proposals for legal solutions with a view to the future law.
