2017 brought about a significant and long awaited change in the rules applicable to dawn raids in Poland. After many years of being criticized by scholars and practitioners, the practice of the President of the Office of Competition and Consumer Protection – consisting of the subsequent review of electronic data copied during an inspection at the authority premises and without the presence of a representative of the inspected undertaking, has been finally overruled by the Court of Competition and Consumer Protection. Even thought there are still several improvements that need to be made in order to guarantee the full respect of fundamental rights of inspected undertakings in the Polish legal order, the Court ruling incontestably constitutes a significant step in strengthening the legal position of inspected undertakings in Poland.

En 2017 les règles applicables aux perquisitions en Pologne ont été modifiées de façon significative et attendue depuis longtemps. Après de nombreuses années de critiques de la part d’universitaires et de praticiens, la pratique du Président de l’Office de la Concurrence et de la Protection des Consommateurs – consistant À examiner des données électroniques copies pendant une perquisition par la suite dans les locaux de l’autorité et en l’absence de représentant de l’entreprise inspectée, a finalement été renversée par la Cour de la Concurrence et de la Protection des Consommateurs. Même si plusieurs améliorations doivent encore être apportées afin de garantir le plein respect des droits fondamentaux des entreprises inspectées dans l’ordre juridique polonais, la décision de la Cour constitue incontestablement une étape importante dans le renforcement de la situation juridique des entreprises inspectées en Pologne

The article presents a critical analysis of changes introduced into the Polish Competition Act of 2007 by the Amendment Act of 2014. The declared purpose of the Amendment was mainly to increase the effectiveness of the enforcement of the antitrust prohibitions, including the introduction of conduct remedies in antitrust cases, the settlement procedure and fines for individuals, changes in the Polish Leniency Programme and inspection powers, as well as simplifying and shortening merger control proceedings. Considered in the paper is the thesis that some of these changes were not introduced properly; in particular, that the new provisions fail to sufficiently safeguard the rights of undertakings, and that the amendment is an inadequate step towards the convergence of the Polish competition law system with the enforcement rules of the EU and its other Member States. Further changes to the Polish Competition Act of 2007 are therefore needed. The paper does not cover changes introduced by the Amendment Act of 2014 to Poland’s consumer protection provisions.
