Poland will soon implement the ECN+ Directive, which will significantly change the local antitrust landscape.

The upcoming implementation strengthens the Polish antitrust authority and makes it more independent, especially from political influence. It also brings about higher fines for trade associations and multinational corporations active in Poland.

In this article, published in AmCham.pl Quarterly, Maciej Marek explains the above and discusses other significant changes, such as new scope of legal professional privilege and liability for failing to respond to the Polish authority’s information requests.
