Ewolucja prawa o inwestycjach zagranicznych

Abstract

The article presents the evolution of foreign investment law. Three main legislative groups of legal acts have been analyzed, i.e. the acts on representative offices, on foreign companies and enterprises with foreign participation, and on limited liability and joint stock companies with foreign participation. With respect to the first group, the author observes that it is necessary to harmonize those regulations with the stipulations of the Association Treaty between the EEC and Poland. With respect to the second group, the author stresses the need of preserving the companies established by foreign nationals of Polish background; thus, she is against the view that such category of companies should be abolished. With respect to the third group, the author is of the opinion that th e Law of 14 June 1991 was a step forward in comparison with previous legislation; moreover, the need to harmonize the Law with the EEC standards has also been stressed.
