Michał Lubowicki

Senate Marshal Małgorzata Kidawa-Błońska announced that a point concerning the consideration of amendments to the Penal Code, which alters the definition of rape, has been removed from the agenda of the current Senate session.

- The Committee on Human Rights and the Rule of Law and the Legislative Committee have not concluded their work on this bill and have not prepared a report on the matter. […] The bill will be considered at the next Senate session - she stated.

Furthermore, the procedure for amending the Copyright Act, which implements EU directives, will be delayed.

- The Committee on Culture and the Media has not prepared a report, and this item will not be included in the agenda approved by the Senate. Once the committee prepares its report, the agenda may be supplemented with the consideration of this act - said Kidawa-Błońska.
