Summary/Abstract: The Bill aims at, inter alia, improvement of transparency in terms of organisa‑tion of Polish sport associations and prevention of conflict of interests by putting ad‑ditional limitations on members of sport unions’ management boards. Furthermore thedefinition of sport should include intellectual activities whose goal is to achieve a sportresult. According to the author of the opinion the latter solution is too vague and maylead to broadening the definition of sport in an uncontrolled manner, encompassinga wider selection of human activities than the sponsor of the bill aimed to do. Moreover,the Council’s project classifies members of sport unions’ management boards as publicservants what stays in contradiction to the jurisprudence of the Constitutional Tribunal.The changes of provisions proposed in the bill require a deeper analysis and clarifying.
