<p>We recognise the worries that many countries, including Poland, have over the malign
influence or interference of Russia in their domestic agenda. HMG expressed concerns
in June 2023 that Poland's proposed State Commission on Russian Influence could undermine
trust in the electoral process, which would not be in anyone's interests. President
Duda has proposed amendments to the law, which the Polish parliament is considering.
This is an important step. The Parliamentary Assembly of the Council of Europe has
urgently requested an opinion on the State Commission law. We now await the opinion
of the Venice Commission. As a good friend of Poland, the UK government will continue
to follow this issue closely.</p>
