Poland's EU Presidency 2025: Security and Organization

The act prepares Poland for holding the EU Council Presidency in the first half of 2025. It introduces detailed rules for ensuring security during official meetings, changes public procurement rules for this purpose, and specifies law enforcement powers. It also provides additional compensation for officers working overtime.
Key points
Security: provincial governors will develop detailed protection plans for central meeting venues with European leaders, including evacuation routes and control zones.
Police may process personal data of event participants without their consent, but for a maximum of 90 days after the presidency ends.
Public procurement for presidency needs is exempt from standard rules – the government can award contracts faster, with CBA oversight.
Police, border guard, fire service, internal security, state protection service officers and military police may work over 40 hours weekly, receiving financial compensation.
Administration staff sent to Brussels from September 2024 to July 2025 will receive free accommodation, training and equipment.
Presidency costs: up to PLN 87.4 million in 2025, mainly for internal affairs and security.
