Prawne i praktyczne aspekty funkcjonowania rad rozwoju obszaru gospodarczego

On the territory of the Republic of Poland, there are currently 14 companies managing special economic zones, subordinated to the minister responsible for economy. Each of them operates in a specific area of Poland. Pursuant to the Act of 10 May 2018 on supporting new investments, each special economic zone appoints an economic area development council. It performs a consultative and advisory function and is composed of representatives of entrepreneurs, local government units located within the area managed by the zone, and representatives of voivodship councils for social dialogue. The aim of the article is to discuss the functioning of economic area development councils in the legal and practical aspects and to attempt to formulate proposals for necessary changes in this area. This task is carried out through the analysis of the current activity of economic area development councils based on information obtained from entities managing special economic zones as part of access to public information.
