The Hanover declaration (1993) of the mission of a geological survey clearly states that it does not deal with management, but as a government organization it should serve the state authorities and societies by scientific advice and information on natural resources and the environment, and such a mission can be accomplished only by science, methodological competence and research independence. More than a half of the geological surveys in EU countries define themselves as research institutions (Fig. 1), and the scientific production expressed in the ratio ofpublications in JCR journals per staff number in some geological surveys (e.g. ČGS, BGS) is bigger than in the Polish Geological Institute-NRI (Fig. 2) what in part is related to the role played by sendee tasks of the PGI-NRI. The close connections of geological surveys with the scientific research are ignored by adherents of establishment of the Polish Geological Agency.
