Abstract

In 2020, thirty years has passed since the adoption of the Act on Counteracting Monopolistic Practices. This act has comprehensively defined the rules of building competition after the political-economic transformation of 1989. It has been amended multiple times. After ten years of being in force, it has been replaced by the Act on Competition and Consumer Protection, which introduced new solutions, previously unknown in the Polish antitrust law. This act has also been amended multiple times. In 2007, another Act on Competition and Consumer Protection was adopted, replacing the one of 2000. This new act was aimed at increasing the effectiveness of actions of the President of the Office of Competition and Consumer Protection by introducing new instruments for competition and consumer protection, as well as improving the existing ones. The article presents the changes in the Polish antitrust law introduced over the past thirty years from the perspective of creating antitrust law.
