Return business sundays still in question. The calendar of upcoming sessions published on the official website of the Sejm of the Republic of Poland does not include work on the amendment. It should be noted that the amendment involves significant changes, the most important of which concerns increasing the number of trading Sundays to two per month. The restrictions would not apply on the first and third Sundays of each month.
