Energy: Jan Sakławski comments on the Energy Prices Act in an interview with Biznesalert.pl

The so-called Energy Prices Act is raising growing concerns among Polish businesses, end users, as well as lawyers and journalists. Courts have also begun to weigh in on the issue. In an interview for the portal biznesalert.pl, attorney Jan Sakławski explains the most controversial aspects of the act and its relation to the Polish Constitution.

“I have a well-founded doubt as to whether freezing prices is consistent with the Polish Constitution, as it involves a serious interference with the freedom to conduct business activity. Energy suppliers operate on free market principles, and as such, they are entitled to adjust their prices — but this law effectively takes that right away, offering instead an illusion in the form of benefits from the Price Difference Payment Fund, which no one knows when it will actually become operational, since there is no implementing regulation allowing it,” explains Jan Sakławski.
