Question details
Agreement between Poland and EC related to Frontex
Due to the differences in the Polish and English translations of the agreement between the Polish State and the European Commission, I am asking for an unequivocal explanation that the Polish version of the agreement should not be used in these proceedings, despite its ratification by the Polish parliament. I would like to point out that this document clearly indicates that temporary employees are Frontex staff and the lack of the necessity to pay contributions is the privilege of these people. Withdrawal of this privilege may give temporary employees a claim for unequal treatment.
