The mandate of the European Court of Auditors (ECA) and Supreme Audit Institutions (SAIs) of the European Union Member States – with regard to auditing of the management and utilisation of EU funds – overlap to some extent. The ECA and SAIs also partially share the stakeholders – the citizens of the European Union. As a result, cooperation of these bodies seems natural. In his article, the author presents the main areas of cooperation between the ECA and SAIs: participation of SAIs in the Court’s audit visits in the Member States, the activities aimed to mitigate the risk of duplicated audits, and cooperative audits.

This article concentrates on the exchange of information and evidence between competition authorities. The issue is analyzed from the perspective of both antitrust and merger cases. The level, scope and intensity of cooperation between competition authorities differs in respect to these two kinds of cases and, to an extent, the applicable legal framework varies as well. Our analysis is based on EU law, national legislation, and relevant case law, with attention also given to other sources of law such as bilateral and multilateral agreements, best practices, recommendations etc. In addition the problem of exchange of information is examined through the prism of the Polish Competition Act. Regulation 1/2003 and the ECN, created upon its provisions, provide detailed rules applicable for the exchange of evidence and information between competition authorities in antitrust cases at the European level. With respect to mergers, the provisions of Regulation 139/2004 do not have the same high degree of influence, hence considerable attention is given to soft law acts, such as recommendations of OECD and ICN, or best practices and informal agreements adopted by national competition authorities.

L’intégration progressive des économies nationales et la mise en place de corporations internationales font que l’activité de tels acteurs peut regarder un nombre important de pays. En particulier, l’activité des corporations transnationales est susceptible d’impacter l’état de la concurrence sur de nombreux marchés nationaux. Cette situation apparaît tant en cas de pratiques anticoncurrentielles que de concentrations d’entreprises. En réponse à ce phénomène, les autorités nationales de concurrence élargissent progressivement leur coopération et des autorités supranationales compétentes pour la concurrence sont mises en place. L’article et l’exposé visent à faire le point sur les fondements juridiques de l’échange d’informations et d’éléments de preuve entre les autorités de concurrence dans les affaires de concurrence. L’analyse portera essentiellement sur les textes de droit communautaires et polonais. Ont été présentées, dans la mesure du nécessaire, d’autres sources du droit qui s’appliquent : accords internationaux, accords entre les autorités, bonnes pratiques et recommandations. L’échange d’informations et d’éléments de preuve peut éveiller des craintes relatives à l’étendue de la protection juridique suffisante des entreprises concernées par les données transférées. Des doutes spécifiques portent sur l’échange d’éléments de preuve dans les affaires relatives aux pratiques restreignant la concurrence. Malgré le cadre législatif et institutionnel existant pour cet échange, des questions se posent de savoir si les entreprises sont conscientes de l’échange, quelle est l’étendue de la protection des secrets commerciaux et de la confidentialité de la correspondance client – mandataire professionnel, dans quel but les informations sont transférées et quelles sont les restrictions de traitement de l’information. Quant aux contrôle des concentrations, l’échange d’informations et d’éléments de preuve concerne d’abord l’information publiquement accessible. De plus, c’est à un degré beaucoup plus sensible qu’il repose sur une coopération volontaire entre les entreprises engagées dans la transaction. En revanche, le transfert d’informations et d’éléments de preuve fournis par des tiers est toujours susceptible de controverses.

Jednym z kluczowych celów sprawozdania specjalnego 01/2019 European Court of Auditors (ECA) w sprawie zwalczania nadużyć finansowych w wydatkowaniu środków UE jest poprawa korelacji między prawem europejskim i prawem wewnętrznym państw członkowskich oraz lepsza współpraca władz unijnych i państw członkowskich w jego realizacji.
