Leniency programme

Area of expertise

A company that has entered into a competition-restricting agreement (horizontal or vertical) may apply for full or partial leniency if it admits its participation in the illegal agreement and provides the Polish Competition Authority with information and evidence confirming the existence of the practice.

A leniency application can also be filed by a manager who has contributed to his or her company’s violation of the Competition Act.
