The authors note significant changes in the constitutional practice in recent years with regard to the interpretation and application of the provisions of the Constitution of the Republic of Poland. Constitutional laws are acquiring new interpretations, while certain aspects of the Constitution are hardly applied at all. The study also shows the role of the Polish Constitutional Tribunal and the judgments of the Court of Justice of the European Union in the context of European integration.}, abstract={The authors discuss the conceptual European Dimension of the Constitution of the Republic of Poland of 2 April 1997 development of the clause concerning "favouring the process of European integration" and its formal incorporation into the constitutional regulations, as well as present an analysis of the selected provisions of the Constitution of the Republic of Poland, focusing on the "integration clause" in Article 90 thereof, which was the basis for Poland`s accession to the EU, and underlining common constitutional traditions. At the same time, the authors recognise the need for amendments of the Constitution in the context of Poland?s possible accession to the eurozone and the role of the National Bank of Poland.}, abstract={With regard to the jurisprudence of the Constitutional Tribunal, the paper stresses the importance of the Lisbon Treaty judgment and the 2021 judgment, which caused public concern due to its potential negative consequences for Poland`s position in the EU. It emphasises that the Polish Constitution and its provisions have precedence over international law, including EU law, and that Poland can function as a sovereign, democratic state within the European Union. The paper is concluded with recommendations for further discussion and possible amendments to the Constitution of the Republic of Poland in the context of European integration.}, type={rozdział w książce}, title={European Dimension of the Constitutionof the Republic of Poland of 2 April 1997}, keywords={Konstytucja Rzeczypospolitej Polskiej, Unia Europejska, zasady konstytucyjne, the Constitution of the Republic of Poland, European Union, constitutional principles}, }
