Interesting how laws are passed in the part of world, as Polish digital
signature law was also passed with lots of private businesses being
done in both Parliament and Senate, against advice of the expert
comission created by the Parliament itself (sic!) and agains the EU
recommendations. So we have the law enacted, but everyone is expecting
that to be changed soon to become usable, and definitely to make it
compliant with EU law.
