Poland - Article 18 §§ 1-3 of the 1961 Charter (non-accepted
provisions, Article 22 procedure): comments for the country file
Dear Secretariat of the European Social Charter,

Please find attached comments concerning the provisions of Article 18 (paragraphs 1 to 3) of the 1961
European Social Charter which Poland has not accepted, submitted with a view to the reporting procedure on
non-accepted provisions under Article 22 of the Charter. The comments set out, on the basis of documents of
the Polish authorities, the current administrative practice in proceedings for residence and work legalisation,
which is directly relevant to the question whether acceptance of those paragraphs would be a formality or a
substantive change.

I would be grateful for confirmation that the document has been placed on the country file for Poland. If the
Committee's practice requires a different form or timing for such comments, I will gladly adjust.

Yours faithfully
