Znaczenie oceny przewidywanych skutków regulacji prawnych - proces stanowienia prawa

Over the last dozen of years, many activities have been undertaken related to the reform of the law establishment system, however its quality still calls for improvements. The mediocre quality of the regulations established in our country has been evidenced, among others, by the position of Poland in the rankings on regulatory environment. For instance, in the Sustainable Governance Indicators (SGI) ranking done by the Bertelsmann Foundation, in the item related to the application of the mechanisms to identify the needs, objectives and socio-economic impact of newly introduced regulations, Poland was as low as on the 37th position out of the 41 countries subject to the ranking in 2017. In their article, the authors analyse the law establishment process from the perspective of the correctness of forecasting socio-economic effects (impact assessment) of drafted regulations. The examination was based on the findings of the NIK audit conducted in the area in the government legislative process.
