Audiatur et altera pars: w kwestii realizacji zadań służby geologicznej – polemika

Abstract

Audiatur et altera pars: on the issue of the execution of geological survey tasks – polemics.A b s t r a c t. The paper presents the critical opinion expressed by Osiejewicz (2018b) who supports the view of Legislative Council of 26 January 2018 on the draft act on the Polish Geological Agency that the German federal geological survey (Bundesanstalt für Geowissenschaften und Rohstoffe – BGR) can be considered as an appropriate formula for the Polish Geological Institute – National Research Institute (PGI - NRI). This opinion is groundless and ignores the fact that because of the federal nature of FRG, many tasks of the national geological survey can, and are, accomplished by the state geological surveys only, and cannot be realized by BGR. PGI-NRI in turn accomplishes tasks of both BGR and the state geological surveys and in addition, possesses bigger potential to undertake new tasks.
