The authors point out the ineffectiveness of the amendment to the Surveying and Cartographic Act of 2005, the aim of which was, among others, the liquidation of the Surveying and Cartography Registry offices (ZUD) and the paper is critical of the proposed process for the coordination of the location of the proposed network utilities with ZUD.

The diversification of the sources and direction of gas supply is essential for Polish energy security. There are high hopes associated with the development activities of prospecting, exploration and extraction of gas from shale formations. What is necessary in this regard is the creation of an appropriate regulatory framework and, therefore, the government has adopted a draft amendment to the Geological and Mining Law. However, a significant barrier may be the environmental issues, currently raised at the level of the European Union, which are associated with the hydraulic fracturing technology.
The comprehensive regulation of the energy and fuel sectors still has some way to go. EU standards have forced our country to undertake specific actions, which have so far resulted in some significant amendments to the energy law. The new rules adopted under the so-called. “Tri-pack” have strengthened the process of unbundling, which has meant greater independence from the system operators involved in the production and marketing sectors. The amendments concern the strengthening of the position of consumers by detailing the elements of the contract of sale and the comprehensive agreement. However, all this is still not enough to meet the full objectives set for the gas sector.
