The dispute over penalties imposed by the President of the Energy Regulatory Office (URE) continues: some consider them too severe and “automatic,” while others—especially large entities—believe they are not nearly as harsh as they might seem.

In December 2025, Professor Michał Romanowski became a member of the Programme Council of the European Financial Congress at the invitation of Professor Leszek Pawłowicz.

The European Financial Congress (EFC) is an independent think tank focusing on economic and financial issues. It is also one of the most important events in the financial industry in Poland and the Central and Eastern Europe (CEE) region, providing a platform for open debate among business, science and political leaders on the stability, security and sustainable development of the financial systems of Poland and the EU.

The EFC’s activities include organising congresses, developing systemic recommendations, Polish experts’ positions in international consultations, book publications, macroeconomic and technological forecasts.

The central event is the annual Congress in Sopot.

The invitation to Prof. Michał Romanowski to help shape the EKF programme is a recognition of his interdisciplinary approach combining the worlds of law, finance and economics.
