18.10.2017

W dniach 11-12 października w Sejmie RP odbyło się spotkanie Podkomisji Stałej ds. Rynku Pracy, która pracuje nad projektem ustawy ograniczającej handel w niedzielę.

 

On 11-12 October, a meeting of the Labor Subcommittee on Labor Market took place in the Parliament, which is working on a draft law restricting trade on Sunday.

The meeting was attended by a representative of the Polish Chamber of Commerce of Agricultural Machines and Equipment – Michał Spaczyński.

On behalf of the companies associated with our Chamber during the meeting, we proposed the introduction of a new draft of the Trade Restrictions by adding two new points as follows:

… in the period from 1 June to 30 September in sales outlets selling agricultural machinery and equipment and parts thereof, the sale of which accounts for at least 30% of the monthly turnover of the outlet, which is understood as sales revenue

… during periodical fairs and exhibitions taking place not more than once a calendar year.

The above proposed amendments were included in the bill. The report of the committee meeting is available on the website of the Sejm of the Republic of Poland:
