metadata.name: dc.description.abstract
metadata.value: Since Poland’s accession to the European Union, European law has become part of the legal
  system in force in Poland. Treaties and regulations are directly applicable, whereas directives
  and recommendations require implementation into Polish law. Polish courts are obliged to apply
  and interpret European company law and to interpret Polish company law in such a way that it
  complies with European law. If in doubt as to the interpretation of European company law, the
  courts may — and in some cases must — refer a question to the Court of Justice of the European
  Union for a preliminary ruling. The judgment of the Court is binding on the courts of all
  Member States. Polish companies may conduct business activity in another Member State and
  foreign companies may conduct business activity in Poland. Companies of the Member States
  may conduct their business activities by establishing companies under the provisions of European
  law, e. g., Societas Europaea. Societas Europaea (SE) is a European public limited company
  whose capital is divided into shares. The European company is a cross-border company
  that can operate in the EU countries alongside national public limited companies. The autonomous
  status of an SE in relation to domestic public limited-liability companies is determined by
  two circumstances: first, the SE’s personal statute (lex societatis), legal capacity and other elements
  of the SE’s legal status are determined by the regulation either directly or by indicating
  the ways to fill in the gaps in the regulation; second, the content of the regulation, which contains
  specific rules for the creation and operation of the SE, distinguishes it from national public
  limited-liability companies. European law also influences the legal situation of Russian citizens
  and companies who are partners (shareholders) of a company registered in a Member State.
