On 7 April 2022, the Government’s draft law on special remedies for counteracting support for the aggression against Ukraine and for protecting national security (“Draft”) was passed by the Polish Parliament.

The Draft provides for a number of provisions governing the competence of pertinent bodies to enforce compliance with the Regulations, including also by imposing fines of up to 20 million zlotys for failing to meet the obligations referred to in the Draft.
