Summary/Abstract: In the opinion of the author, the European Council Decision 2020/2053 does not determine new competencies of the Union, but only the creation of new financial instruments to implement political priorities or better reflect the importance of the general budget. It does, however, impose a significant financial burden on the state, and thus meets the criteria for ratification of an international agreement set forth in the Polish Constitution in Article 89 para. 1 subpara. 4. It is therefore not permissible for the Decision to be ratified solely by the President of the Republic of Poland without the consent of the Sejm and the Senate expressed in a statute.
