The Amendment of Polish Competition Law of June 2014 – Critical Remarks

On 18 January 2015, the amendment of Polish competition law came into force. The main objective of the reform was to increase the effectiveness of the competition law enforcement and to accelerate some procedures (in particular, antimonopoly proceedings concerning concentration). The changes are primarily procedural in nature, rarely referring to substantive competition rules. The article presents and discusses the majority of the newly added or amended provisions of the Polish competition act, including its critical assessment and some de lege ferenda recommendations.
