Rządowy projekt ustawy o ratyfikacji Konkordatu między Stolicą Apostolską i Rzecząpospolitą Polską w obradach sejmowej Komisji Spraw Zagranicznych z 16 grudnia 1997 r.
The government’s draft law on the ratification of the Concordat between the Holy See and the Republic of Poland at the sitting of the Sejm Committee for Foreign Affairs of December 16, 1997

Summary/Abstract: The conclusion of the Concordat between the Holy See and the Republic of Poland on July 28, 1993 was undoubtedly an important event in the recent history of the mutual relations between the Polish state and the Catholic Church. However, due to the political disputes, the process of ratification of this international agreement was significantly delayed. The present paper discusses one element of this process, that is, the debate that was held at the sitting of the Sejm Committee for Foreign Affairs on 16 December, 1997. The debate concerned, among other things, the legislative procedure for ratification of the Concordat and the issue of including the Government’s interpretive declaration of 15 April, 1997 in the ratification act. As a result of the work undertaken by the Committee, the draft ratification act was submitted to the Sejm and subsequently adopted on 8 January, 1998. The Concordat was ratified on 23 February, 1998.
