Petitions in cities with poviat rights in Silesian Voivodeship

Summary/Abstract: The present article discusses the way cities with poviat rights in the Silesian Voivodeship deal with petitions submitted by their citizens. Since the Act on Petitions became law till the enforcement by the European Parliament and the Council of the European Union of the General Data Protection Regulation (GDPR) on data protection and privacy for all individuals with regards to the processing and export of personal data, 300 petitions were submitted to the councils of 19 cities. Data analysis leads to the conclusion that there is no uniform way of dealing with such cases. Each subject proposes different steps in dealing with petitions. Some subjects perform their tasks in an exemplary way, giving thus an example of conduct favourable to citizens; others constrain themselves to the statutory minimum, while yet another group does not comply with most of the statutory obligations. The article also includes the research results concerning the formulation of the all-voivodeship protocol for dealing with petitions as well as recommendation on the selected points in the Act on Petitions.
