- 78. When it last examined this case at its June 2000 session [see 321st Report, paras. 71-79] the Committee requested the Government to provide the final court decision concerning the dismissal of Mr. Grabowski, chairperson of the trade union Sprawiedliwosc; as regards the allegations presented by the All Poland Trade Union Alliance, (OPZZ), the Committee recalled the necessity to consult with social partners on draft legislation and requested the Government to provide the text of the Act extending the mandate of the National Tripartite Commission, which is intended to be a forum for consultation and negotiation of social issues.
- 79. In its communication of 3l January 2001, the Government indicates that the Warsaw Court of First Instance, which will re-examine the case of Mr. Grabowski, has requested the Prime Minister Chancellery to produce additional documents, but has not set a trial date yet. Concerning the OPZZ allegations, the Government explains that the principle of consulting social partners on draft legislation is respected by the Government; violations of this principle rarely occur and, when they do, are unintended. In the present case, the Prime Minister's Chancellery intervened as soon as the issue was brought to its attention and reminded the Ministry concerned of the obligation to consult social partners. The Government further indicates that the draft Act on the Social and Economic Commission is currently being discussed in a commission of the Sejm.

The Committee hopes that the judicial proceedings concerning the dismissal of Mr. Grabowski will be concluded soon and requests the Government to provide the final court decision. The Committee also requests the Government to provide the text of the Act on the Social and Economic Commission as soon as it is adopted.
