As part of strengthening the human capacities of the Competition Authority, with the assistance of TAIEX (Technical Assistance and Information Exchange Instrument of the European Commission), in collaboration with the Polish Office of Competition and Consumer Protection, on 7-8 May 2024, was held the workshop on the implementation of competition law and advocacy.
This event was attended by three representatives from the Polish Office of Competition and Consumer Protection, Mrs. Marta Michalak, Mr. Jan Ulański, and Mr. Antoni Napieralski, who have many years of experience in the field of competition.
The purpose of this workshop was to acquire Polish experience and exchange experiences in antitrust procedures and the new challenges faced by the competition authority in dealing with existing, sensitive and new markets.
The entire staff of the Competition Authority participated in this two-day workshop, aiming to expand their knowledge and update their professional skills on the legislation and methodology to be followed in handling cases of abuse of dominant positions and prohibited agreements. Additionally, the staff of the Competition Authority gained deeper insights into the Polish experience with the Leniency Program, the implementation of the ECN+ Directive in Poland, digital markets, and the cooperation between competition authorities and sectoral regulators.
Such workshops will continue to be held throughout year 2024 and beyond as part of the Competition Authority’s mission for continuous staff training, accessing European Union experiences, and improving and updating work practices in the field of competition and related policies.
