In a modern market economy, entrepreneurs are required to operate in such a way as not to restrict and eliminate competition, which is subject to special protection at both national and international level.
As a result of the increasing number of inspections carried out by the UOKiK and the European Commission, as well as due to the increasingly severe sanctions imposed by competition authorities, entrepreneurs are increasingly paying attention to the compliance of their activities with competition law.
