  • The Financial Management of Visitor Groups to the National Parliaments
    BRIEFING For the CONT committee The financial management of visitor groups to the national parliaments KEY FINDINGS In most Member States, visitor’ groups are not sponsored to visit the national parliament. A visit to the national parliament is free of charge, and all the costs related to the visit, for example travel costs, accommodation and local minor expenses, need to be paid by the visitors themselves. Germany is the only country which has various kinds of programmes where visitors can be reimbursed. Members of Parliament can invite up to 200 people a year of which the travel costs are partially covered by the German Bundestag. There is also a programme which consists of more days for which all the costs related to travel and accommodation are covered by the German government. The German Bundesrat has a programme in which the 16 federal states can invite people for a visit of multiple days to Berlin. In this case the travel costs and accommodation are paid for by the Bundesrat. For all reimbursements, the rules apply that the receipts and underlying documents need to be provided to the Bundestag and Bundesrat after the visit. All documents and receipts are checked through an ex-post control. The United Kingdom has a programme in which costs are reimbursed, and this programme is funded by the commercial tours of the parliament. In this case, it can be MPs, Peers or the House of Commons or Lords who can invite visitors who are eligible for reimbursement. In Hungary, only schools can get reimbursement for their travel costs and the entry fee for the national parliament.

Den Heraus- forderungen in Wirtschaft, Umwelt, Sicherheit usw. kann nur noch teilweise auf nationaler Ebene begegnet werden. Nach dem Subsidiaritätsprinzip wird die Euro- päische Union dann tätig, wenn politische Ziele auf der Ebene der Mitgliedstaaten nicht ausreichend erreicht werden können und daher besser auf Gemeinschafts- ebene verfolgt werden. In vielen Bereichen, wo die Europäische Union tätig wird, muss die Umsetzung dennoch auf nationaler Ebene erfolgen. Aber nicht nur in rechtlicher, sondern auch in politischer Hinsicht stellen die nationalen Parlamente ein Bindeglied zwischen den europäischen Bürgern und den EU-Institutionen dar. Die vielen tausenden nationalen Parlamentarier trachten danach, alle politischen Interessen ihrer Wähler entsprechend zu vertreten – und dazu zählen genauso Themenbereiche, die eine EU-Dimension haben. So liegt es in der Natur des über Jahrzehnte erfolgreichen europäischen Integrationsprozesses, dass die nationalen Parlamente immer stärker in EU-Angelegenheiten mitwirken.

  • The Polish Constitutional Court and Political "Refolution" After 1989: Between the Continuity and Discontinuity of the Constitutional Narrative*
    THE POLISH CONSTITUTIONAL COURT AND POLITICAL "REFOLUTION" AFTER 1989: BETWEEN THE CONTINUITY AND DISCONTINUITY OF THE CONSTITUTIONAL NARRATIVE* ALEKSANDRA KUSTRA-ROGATKA** “(...) History is like the ocean. Years of quiet, when gentle wind blows and waves splash against the shores, alternate with stormy times, when waves rise like mountains and hit against the shore as if they would swallow the land. In history, as well, there are periods of quiet, continuous development, but there are also periods of fierce and aggressive change, when the dormant forces of history erupt onto the surface.” A. Visegrády 1 INTRODUCTION Timothy Garton Ash coined the expression “refolution”. It fits in Poland’s case, as it semantically blurs the border-line between historical periods of stormy times (revolution) and times of quiet, continuous development (reform).2 According to Ash this term refers to a process of political, economic and social change that combines both elements of reform or structural modification with aspects of revolution. In essence, this means that instead of totally destroying the old system, the new democratic political systems are based on old regimes - both in terms of structures and personnel. Major purges of people at the top occur and important modifications to existing institutions take place, but in the main, the new DOI: 10.1515/wrlae-2018-0005 * The present paper represents exclusively the personal point of view of the author, and this should not be attributed to the Constitutional Tribunal of Poland or any other institution. ** PhD, Dr. habil., Head of Department of Theory of Law and State, Nicolaus Copernicus University, Toruń.
