Receiving the honorary badge from the Minister of Finance is a reason for satisfaction. However, it should be emphasised that many different works (publications, draft regulations, opinions on laws) important from the point of view of public finance were and are conducted by my colleagues from the Department of Tax Law and the Centre of Tax Documentation and Studies. At times, we have worked together. I am therefore convinced that my colleagues have their share in my distinction
