Summary/Abstract: This paper provides a short review of the rules on leniency program in European Union competition law. The author points out that the new Commission Notice on Immunity from Fines and Reduction of Fines in Cartel Cases has been focused on providing greater transparency and predictability and that recent amendments are intended to improve the efficacy of the leniency programme and thereby, to make exposing a cartel increasingly attractive for cartel participants. The revised Leniency Notice clarifies the information an applicant needs to provide to the Commission to benefit from immunity and also the conditions for immunity and reduction of fines.
