Summary/Abstract: The article concerns the new EU Draft Directive (ECN+ Directive) – an initiative of the European Commission to modernize the decentralized system of EU competition law enforcement introduced by Council Regulation (EC) No 1/2003. The Draft Directive broadly interferes with the status and investigative powers of national competition authorities (NCAs). It establishes the minimum scope of the investigative and decision-making powers of NCAs, enhances convergence of many procedural aspects in this area and the power to impose sanctions. The aim of the article is to present, in a comprehensive way, the proposed act and to determine its possible impact on Polish competition law, if the Directive does come into force.
