Summary/Abstract: The study is devoted to the leniency programme in the Polish and French legal system. As an introduction to the comparative analysis, the paper presents the genesis of the leniency institution in European law and the implementation of the Model Leniency Programme by the European Competition Network. This comparison of legal systems makes it possible to catch the differences between the two leniency models, which appear despite the fact that both competition authorities are members of the European Competition Network. The analysis gives an overview of the leniency programme in France and the way the French competition authority operates.
