Glosa do Wyroku Federalnego Sądu Socjalnego z dnia 16 czerwca 2015 r., sygn. akt B 13 R 27/13 R

The year 2021 marked the 30th anniversary of the entry into force of the Social Security Agreement between the Republic of Poland and the Federal Republic of Germany, drawn up in Warsaw on 8 December 1990. In this connection, it is worth emphasising both its timeless significance and the impact it has had on the legal orders of Poland and Germany. The progressive political and economic integration of Europe has resulted in both countries redefining pension rights in Polish-German relations. It should be recalled that only a few days earlier, on 14 November 1990, Poland and Germany had signed an agreement on a common border on the Oder and Lusatian Neisse rivers. This played a huge role in the history of both countries. This was due to the fact that at the Potsdam Conference in 1945, when the course of the common German-Polish border was decided, neither side had a seat at the conference table and had any influence on the outcome of the negotiations.
