Summary/Abstract: The Agreement of 2007 concerning the seat and other matters related to the functioning of Frontexin Poland is legally binding on the parties, and its form and content allow us to consider it (contraryto the position of Polish government) as an international agreement. Such an assumption, however,raises reasonable doubts as to compatibility of the agreement with the provisions of the Constitution,particularly its Article 52 para. 1, which concerns freedom of movement within the territory of Poland.In order to avoid a possible collision of a new headquarters agreement with the Polish Constitution,the author recommends that Frontex and the European Union be named (jointly) as a partythereto. This solution has already been applied in relation to agreements on the\ headquarters of otherEU agencies and in Polish practice on the conclusion of a headquarters agreement with other internationalorganizations in Poland.
