Modern Polish competition law has become highly regulated and codified over the twenty five years of its existence and this article will provide readers with information relating to its recent developments of 2015. Separate subsections present a review of provisions on remedies in infringement decisions as well as settlements. A considerable part of this paper is designed to outline the peculiarities that characterize Poland’s new provisions on fines. Further on, the paper introduces readers to newest trends in the area of concentration control between undertakings. In addition, an assessment of recent developments and suggestions for a further development of Polish competition law are reviewed in the EU context. The conscious intention of the author is to analyse whether the EU competition law pattern, often regarded as a model for Member States, has been used to develop Polish competition law. Has the latter been amended to look more, or less like EU competition law? Has Polish competition law shown the capacity to absorb the best elements of EU competition law into itself? How is the outcome aligned with the declared direction of these amendments?

Le droit de la concurrence polonais moderne est devenu très réglementé et codifié au cours des vingt-cinq années de son existence et cet article fournit aux lecteurs des informations relatives à ses développements récents de 2015. Des sous-sections séparées présentent un examen des dispositions concernant les recours dans les décisions d'infraction ainsi que dans la procédure de transaction. Une grande partie partie de cet article vise à présenter les particularités qui caractérisent des nouvelles dispositions de la loi polonaise concernant les sanctions. Ensuite, l’article présente aux lecteurs les tendances les plus récentes dans le domaine du contrôle des concentrations entre entreprises. De plus, une évaluation des développements récents et la proposition des reformes possibles du droit polonais de la concurrence sont examinées dans le contexte de l'Union européenne. L’idée d’auteur est d’analyser si le modèle européen du droit de la concurrence, souvent considéré comme un modèle pour les Etats Membres, a été utilisé pour développer le droit polonais de la concurrence. Est-ce que le droit polonais de la concurrence a été modifié afin de rassembler le droit de l’Union européenne ou non? Est-ce que le droit polonais de la concurrence a démontré sa capacité à intégrer les meilleurs éléments du droit européen de la concurrence? Comment les résultats des modifications de la loi polonaise sur la concurrence correspondent avec les objectifs des changements?

Przedmiotowy artykuł stanowi próbę oceny planowanych zmian w prawie konkurencji. Autorzy w sposób szczegółowy omawiają konstrukcję prawną, która stanowić ma novum w polskim prawie konkurencji: instytucję leniency plus. Polegać ma ona na przyznaniu dodatkowej obniżki kary pieniężnej dla przedsiębiorcy (leniency plus), który złożył wniosek leniency, ale nie udało mu się uzyskać odstąpienia od wymierzenia kary pieniężnej, a który zdecydował się na ujawnienie Prezesowi Urzędu Ochrony Konkurencji i Konsumentów dodatkowych informacji o innym, dotychczas nieznanym – niedozwolonym porozumieniu, w którym bierze udział. Systematyka wywodu obejmuje w pierwszej kolejności omówienie instytucji leniency plus wraz ze stanowiskiem (również krytycznym) autorów co do jej uzasadnienia ekonomicznego, proponowanego kształtu i wpływu na wzrost wykrywalności porozumień antykonkurencyjnych. Wreszcie trzon wywodu stanowią uwagi dotyczące rozumienia tzw. inności porozumienia i wybranych, związanych z tym problemów konstrukcyjnych.

This paper aims to assess the planned changes to the Polish Competition Act of 2007 discussing in detail the introduction of a legal institution which is a novum for the Polish legal system – leniency plus. The goal of leniency plus is to grant an additional fine reduction to an entrepreneur that submitted an unsuccessful leniency application (which, under the current law, would not give rise to a fine reduction), but disclosed to the NCA information on another, so far unknown illegal agreement in which that company participates. The paper first discusses the institution of leniency plus and criticizes its economic justification, its proposed form and in determining the meaning of “another” agreement.

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.

et des modifications nécessaires pour mettre en oeuvre la directive ENC+ (en particulier dans le domaine des conditions spécifiques de clémence, des sanctions individuelles, la protection des déclarations effectuées en vue d’obtenir la clémence ou «Leniency plus»), ainsi que des lacunes en matière d’harmonisation (principalement absence d’organe centralisé, de langage universel, absence de règles régissant la réduction des amendes ou de règles pleinement coordonnées en matière d’immunité des sanctions individuelles). Selon l’auteur, le système polonais correspond globalement à la plupart des normes harmonisées grâce à une harmonisation «douce» fondée sur le programme modèle du REC en matière de clémence et sur le programme de clémence de l’UE. Sa mise en oeuvre n’entraînera pas de changements drastiques, à moins d’être combinée à des améliorations de lege ferenda et à une amélioration générale dans le niveau de lutte contre les ententes.

This publication discusses the current state of the Polish leniency programme and the amendments required in order to implement the ECN+ Directive (in particular in the area of specific conditions for leniency, individual sanctions, protection of leniency statements or leniency plus) as well as harmonisation flaws (primarily lack of one-stop-shop, universal language, failure to lay down rules regulating the reduction of fines or fully coordinating rules on immunity from individual sanctions, lack of harmonisation regarding applications in non-cartel cases). The author’s view is that the Polish system in broad terms corresponds to the majority of the harmonised standards owing to soft harmonisation based on the Model Leniency Programme and the EU leniency programme. Further, the implementation will not bring about revolutionary changes, unless combined with de lege ferenda improvements and enhancements in the general level of anti-cartel enforcement.
