O potrzebie zastąpienia Prezesa UOKiK kolegialnym organem ochrony konkurencji
About the need of transition of the President of the Office of Competition and Consumer Protection into a collegiate competition authority

Summary/Abstract: Taking into account the approaching 30th anniversary of the establishment of a modern competition protection system in Poland, based on a one-man central administrative body – the President of the Office of Competition and Consumer Protection, the authors of the article want to start anew and join to the debate on institutional form of the Polish competition authority. This article briefly summarizes the discussions conducted by representatives of jurisprudence on the issue. The authors also identify the most important deficits of the current institutional model – primarily in the light of human rights protection standards and the requirements set out in the ECN+ directive. The article also puts forward a concrete proposal to transform the current monocratic Polish competition authority into a collegiate body (the Commission for Protection of Competition) and arguments in favor of the proposed model.
