competition between undertakings on the Polish market being distorted or, in extreme cases, completely eliminated. This applies to business concentration through a merger, the acquisition of control over another entity, the creation of a joint venture, and the acquisition of part of the assets of another undertaking. </p><div class="row mt-20 mb-20"> <div class="col-12"> <div class="accordion rounded-accordion" id="faq-83-0"> <div class="accordion-item"> <h2 class="accordion-header" id="heading-83-0"> <button class="accordion-button collapsed" type="button" data-bs-toggle="collapse" data-bs-target="#collapse-83-0" aria-expanded="false" aria-controls="collapse-83-0"> Obligation to notify </button> </h2> <div id="collapse-83-0" class="accordion-collapse collapse" aria-labelledby="heading-83-0" data-bs-parent="#faq-83-0"> <div class="accordion-body"> <p>The obligation to notify the President of the Office of the intent to concentrate applies to undertakings whose total turnover exceeded <strong>1 billion euro worldwide or 50 million euro in Poland</strong> in the year preceding the notification and they do not benefit from any statutory exemptions in this regard. </p><p>The President of UOKiK approves the concentration if it will not significantly restrict market competition. Otherwise – he prohibits the concentration of undertakings. Concentration may also be permitted under certain conditions – the so-called conditional approval, as long as the fulfilment of these conditions does not lead to a significant restriction of competition. Meanwhile, the so-called extraordinary approval of a transaction leading to a restriction of competition is granted in cases where the transaction will significantly contribute to economic development or technical progress, or will have a positive impact on the national economy. </p><p>If the undertakings proceed with the concentration without the prior approval of the President of UOKiK, they may <strong>be fined up to 10 percent of last year’s turnover</strong>. An entity may <strong>be fined up to PLN 50 million</strong> if it fails to provide the Office with information during ongoing proceedings or provides untrue or misleading data and information. </p> </div> </div> </div> </div> </div> <div class="col-12"> <div class="accordion rounded-accordion" id="faq-83-1"> <div class="accordion-item"> <h2 class="accordion-header" id="heading-83-1"> <button class="accordion-button collapsed" type="button" data-bs-toggle="collapse" data-bs-target="#collapse-83-1" aria-expanded="false" aria-controls="collapse-83-1"> Proceedings </button> </h2> <div id="collapse-83-1" class="accordion-collapse collapse" aria-labelledby="heading-83-1" data-bs-parent="#faq-83-1"> <div class="accordion-body"> <p>Concentration control proceedings consist in the assessment of the potential impact of the transaction on the market, based on information provided in applications filed by undertakings and the results of market research conducted by UOKiK. The procedure may be conducted <strong>in two stages</strong>. Most cases concerning concentration, which do not raise concerns regarding their impact on competition, are resolved at stage 1, which lasts up to one month. Stage 2 of the proceedings is initiated for more complex transactions, which require i.a. further market analysis. In that case, the deadline for examining the application is extended by additional 4 months. </p> </div> </div> </div> </div> </div> <div class="col-12"> <div class="accordion rounded-accordion" id="faq-83-2"> <div class="accordion-item"> <h2 class="accordion-header" id="heading-83-2"> <button class="accordion-button collapsed" type="button" data-bs-toggle="collapse" data-bs-target="#collapse-83-2" aria-expanded="false" aria-controls="collapse-83-2"> Proceedings before the EC </button> </h2> <div id="collapse-83-2" class="accordion-collapse collapse" aria-labelledby="heading-83-2" data-bs-parent="#faq-83-2"> <div class="accordion-body"> <p>In addition to analysing cases which are subject to national legislation, UOKiK also gives its opinion on concentration applications filed with the European Commission with regard to the impact of the concentration on the Polish market and, consequently, the possible application to the national authority to oversee them.</p><p>More at: <a href="https://uokik.gov.pl/kontrola-koncentracji" target="_blank" rel="noopener noreferrer">uokik.gov.pl</a></p> </div> </div> </div> </div> </div> </div> </div> </div> <style> .bip-menu{ padding: 10px 10px; margin-bottom: 12px; position: relative; font-size: 16px; border-bottom: 1px solid #deb308; } .checked-menu{ background: #DEB308; } .bip-menu a{ color: #000000 !important; text-decoration: none !important; } .ikona-menu{ position:absolute; right:0; top:50%; transform:translateY(-50%); font-size: 35px; background: transparent; border: none; padding: 10px; } .next-level { margin-left: 20px; display: none; } .menu-div ul li{ list-style: none !important; } @media only screen and (min-width: 991px) { .margin-left-30{ margin-left:30px; } } .menu-div ul{ padding: 0 !important; } </style> <script> document.addEventListener("DOMContentLoaded", function() { $('.parent.ikona-menu').click(function(e) { e.stopPropagation(); let icon = $(this).children('i'); let nextMenu = $(this).parent().next('.next-level'); nextMenu.slideToggle('fast'); if (icon.hasClass('ri-arrow-down-s-line')) { icon.removeClass('ri-arrow-down-s-line'); icon.addClass('ri-arrow-up-s-line'); $(this).parent().addClass('checked-menu'); } else { icon.removeClass('ri-arrow-up-s-line'); icon.addClass('ri-arrow-down-s-line'); $(this).parent().removeClass('checked-menu'); } }); $('.menu-item2.active').parents('.next-level').each(function() { $(this).slideDown('fast').prev('li').addClass('checked-menu') .find('i').addClass('ri-arrow-up-s-line').removeClass('ri-arrow-down-s-line'); }); }); </script> </div> </article> </div> </div> </section> </div> <div class="newsletter_bg"> <div class="container-xxl newsletter-heading"> <h4 class="newsletter-form-title">Sign up for our newsletter </h4> <p class="newsletter-form-desc">Stay up to date with the latest information from the Office of Competition and Consumer Protection </p> <a href="/en/newsletter" class="newsletter-form-button btn" >Sign up</a> </div> </div> <div class="banner_projekty container-xxl mb-40"> </div> <footer class="page-footer footer-dark-blue pt-50"> <div class="container-xxl"> <div class="row pb-50"> <div class="col-lg-4 col-md-4 col-sm-6 col-12"> <aside class="widget widget--transparent widget__footer widget__about"> <div class="widget__header2 margin-phone-30"> <img src="https://uokik.gov.pl/storage/loga/logo-uokik-white-en.png" alt="Office of Competition and Consumer Protection" height="85"> <div class="phone-show" style="display: none;color: #deb308; margin-top:20px;">Office of Competition and Consumer Protection</div> </div> </aside> </div> <div class="col-lg-3 col-md-6 col-sm-6 col-12 telefon"> <aside class="widget widget--transparent widget__footer custom_html"> <ul> <li>Office of Competition and Consumer Protection</li> <li>Pl.
