Summary/Abstract: This article presents the most important changes in substantive and procedural provisions introduced as a result of the recent amendment of the Act on Competition and Consumer Protection. These changes concern, in the first place, inspections and searches carried out by the UOKiK President. The article considers also a number of new institutions in the field of anticompetitive practices, such as managers’ liability, remedies and settlement. Discussed subsequently are changes in the provisions on practices infringing collective consumer interests, that is, the power of the UOKiK President to issue public warnings.
