O przekazywaniu kompetencji organów władzy państwowej organizacji międzynarodowej. Uwagi na tle wyroku Trybunału Konstytucyjnego z dnia 26 czerwca 2013 r.

The Polish Constitution of 2 April 1997 provides for three procedures of ratification of international agreements: 1) by the President without the participation of the Sejm, 2) by the President, under the law approving the ratification in respect of contracts referred to in Article 89 para. 1 of the Constitution, 3) by the President on the basis of the specific act of consent adopted by the Sejm and the Senate according to a special procedure. In the third case, it is also possible to agree with a referendum. The third procedure is reserved for international agreements, under which the conferral (transfer) competence of the Polish state occurs. In practice, this procedure is adopted in connection with the provisions of the European Union treaties. In the judgment discussed in the article, the Polish Constitutional Tribunal ruled on a dispute against the ratification act concerning the decision of the European Council of the EU of 25 March 2011 on the amendment of Article 136 of the Treaty on the Functioning of the European Union. This article provides an analysis of some important issues from the point of view of Polish constitutional law. Among them are: 1) analysis of the provisions of the Constitution of “transferring/conferring” the competence of the Polish state, 2) understanding the phrase “powers/competences of public authorities” They are of great importance in the context of the development of the institutional structures and organizational changes within the European Union.
