The Polish draft law on clinical trials of medicinal products for human use was sent for public consultations on 30 April 2021 and is still waiting for the final wording.

This project aims to bring the current legislation into line with the Regulation of the European Parliament and of the Council on clinical trials on medicinal products for human use, which aims to ensure the safety of people who take part in clinical trials, to simplify and speed up the authorisation procedures for such trials, which are a key part of the process of developing new medicines and improving treatment with existing medicines.

Applicable regulations

The bankruptcy cases are regulated in Poland majorly by the Insolvency Act of 2003 (in Polish: Ustawa z dnia 28 lutego 2003 r. Prawo upadłościowe (t.j. Dz. U. z 2020 r. poz. 1228 z późn. zm.)) (later: ‘Insolvency Act of 2003’). Yet it is not the only applicable regulation. In cases of cross-border bankruptcy proceedings or cases where a Polish citizen is adjudged bankrupt in the territory of the Member State of the European Union or Ireland, the bankruptcy proceedings are regulated by the Regulation (EU) 2015/848 of the European Parliament and of the Council of 20 May 2015 on insolvency proceedings (OJ L 141, 5.6.2015, p. 19-72) (later: ‘Regulation 2015/848’).
