Poland's Official Gazette, Dziennik Ustaw, has published a series of new regulations effective May 27, 2026. These legal acts, numbered 691 through 695, address various governmental and administrative matters across several key ministries.

Among the published decrees is a regulation from the Minister of Interior and Administration introducing a temporary ban on presence in a specific area within the border zone adjacent to the border with the Republic of Belarus.

One amends existing rules on workplace safety concerning chemical agents, and the other modifies regulations related to Good Distribution Practices, suggesting updates to standards in the pharmaceutical or related industries. The Minister of Infrastructure also published new technical requirements for hydrotechnical structures, impacting construction and engineering standards for dams, canals, and similar facilities.

Finally, the Minister of Finance and Economy updated regulations concerning the responsibilities of tax offices and chambers of tax administration regarding excise tax.
