W sprawie sposobu głosowania podczas posiedzeń komisji bądź podkomisji prowadzonych z wykorzystaniem środków komunikacji elektronicznej umożliwiających porozumiewanie się na odległość

Abstract

The subject of the opinion is the legal assessment of voting procedure, as well as confirmation of presence at such committee sittings, in which some Deputies partake in a traditional way (in person in the meeting room), while others take advantage of a remote participation on the basis of Part III of the Standing Orders of the Sejm titled “Sittings of the Sejm, committees and subcommittees with the use of electronic means enabling remote communication”. The author of the opinion claims that rules of the above part of the Standing Orders, despite their detailed scope, do not provide a complete answer to the question about the way of conducting “mixed” committee sittings, i.e., with a partial traditional participation of Deputies and a partial remote one. Thus it is necessary to apply, to some extent, a functional legal interpretation.
