which is issued by the main executive authority based on specific authorisation included in the act.

In Poland, it can be issued by the following entities: President, Council of Ministers, Prime Minister, a minister ruling a government administration department, the National Broadcasting Council.

Rozporządzenie UE
Rozporządzenie can also be found in European Union legislation. In EU it is a normative act with a general scope. It is used in all Member States and can be issued by the Council of the European Union and the European Comission. There are a few types of these acts: rozporządzenie podstawowe, delegowane, wykonawcze (the last one is of less significance, because it cannot amend the basic one, and what is more, it relates to secondary issues only). The official translation of rozporządzenie into English is regulation in the European terminology.
Rozporządzenie podstawowe — Basic Regulation
| „Komisja Obrachunkowa” oznacza podmiot, o którym mowa w art. 74 rozporządzenia podstawowego. | ‘Audit Board’ means the body referred to in Article 74 of the basic Regulation. |
Rozporządzenie delegowane — Delegated Regulation
| Podstawę niniejszego rozporządzenia delegowanego Komisji stanowi mandat określony w art. 4 ust. 2 dyrektywy 2014/65/UE. | This Commission Delegated Regulation is based on the empowerment set out in Article 4(2) of Directive 2014/65/EU. |
Rozporządzenie wykonawcze — Implementing Regulation (nie Executive Regulation)
| Świadczenia rzeczowe przyznane tymczasowo przez daną instytucję zgodnie z ust. 2 są zwracane, zgodnie z przepisami tytułu IV rozporządzenia wykonawczego, przez instytucję właściwą. | Benefits in kind granted provisionally by an institution in accordance with paragraph 2 shall be reimbursed by the competent institution in accordance with Title IV of the implementing Regulation. |
Sometimes, the Polish rozporządzenie is translated into English as order. However, here I recommend cautiousness to avoid needless complications. — order is also a translation of zarządzenie. Zarządzenie, as opposed to rozporządzenie is not a source of law and is more often used for internal purposes.
