It concerns the independence of the national administrative competition authorities, including the President of the Office of Competition and Consumer Protection in Poland. The aim of the article is, first, to assess the correctness of the transposing draft legislation. Second, the author of the article formulates a critical assessment of the content of the draft national provisions, concluding how these provisions should be amended.

The aim of the article is to examine what statutory provisions are applicable to these fines and present what doubts might emerge as a result of their application.
