The article reports on the recent decision by President Karol Nawrocki of Poland concerning the amendment of the National Cybersecurity System Act, known as Lex Huawei. The Act is crucial in outlining the country’s cybersecurity measures and includes stipulations about high-risk suppliers. Although the President has signed the amendment into law, he has also referred it to the Constitutional Tribunal for subsequent review, indicating concerns regarding its compliance with constitutional standards.

The need for this legal amendment arises from the integration of new provisions related to cybersecurity, especially regarding suppliers labeled as high-risk, which has raised multiple legal and political questions. The legislation is significant not only from a national security perspective but also concerning support and funding from the European Union, as it aligns Poland's regulations with broader EU cybersecurity policies. Experts and politicians are divided in their reactions, reflecting ongoing debates about national security and the risks posed by certain technology suppliers, notably Huawei.

With the law's implications for both national security and European funding, the change is particularly notable amidst global discussions on cybersecurity standards and supplier assessments. The amendment aims to strengthen Poland's cybersecurity framework, but its future may hinge on the outcome of the constitutional review, thus ensuring its alignment with Poland’s legal principles and international obligations.
