Polish ethic committees should have to work together in order to maintain and develop high quality standards in the protection of human subjects. Exchanging knowledge, know-how and information polish ethic committees should have to implement standard operating procedures. Procedures should improve quality and proficiency of all types of ethic committee's activities. ⋯ The opinions of experts who have been reviewing medical research projects for several years may prove to be especially valuable in this setting. Governmental initiatives and creation of forum for polish ethic committees are essential in the effective standardisation, coordination and implementation of procedures in regional ethic committees. These projects need support via public funding from our authorities.
