Polish Office of Competition and Consumer Protection has published a report entitled „Realization of Competition Policy 2006-2007″. Report concludes that most of the Actions specified in „Competition Policy 2006-2007″ action plan were successfully put into effect. Only Priorities 1 and 3 in Area II (competition in radio and television market, competition in railroads market) were not realized due to political decisions.
Area I „Competition Protection” set several tasks for antitrust authority (OCCP), namely: improving effectiveness in cartel prosecution, protection of liberalized sectors, introducing changes in competition law, improving state aid supervision system and competition protection on local markets.
Area II was devoted to „creation of competition” on regulated markets and, with exception for energy distribution, it is clear that Priorities specified for this Area were not achieved.
Area III „Supporting Competition” specified promotional and educational endeavors in order to raise level of awareness among market participants.
