Nadzór RIO i wojewodów nad czystością i porządkiem w gminach – stanowienie aktów prawa miejscowego

The implementation of the provisions of the Act on cleanliness and order in municipalities has raised doubts as for which body is competent to examine the compliance with the regulations of the local law. Before the amendments to the Act, municipal regulations in the field were supervised by the regional governor (Polish: wojewoda), while the owner of an estate made payments directly to those who take the waste away, on the basis of a civil law agreement. With the amendments, the system has been based on declarations, while payments have been subject to tax law; it is not, however, at any point called a local payment. On the other hand, on the basis of the Act resolutions are still made, related to the municipal waste management system, not directly connected with the payment. That is why supervision bodies are having some problems with identifying the legal nature of the payment and the scope of resolutions adopted.
