The subject matter of Mr Semeniuk’s presentation was that of administrative responsibility of collective bodies in competition law as well as within those bodies. The speaker aimed to answer whether the President of UOKiK can impose fines on mother companies for the behaviours of daughter companies. The speaker also tried to clarify responsibility issues within collective bodies, that is, such legal bodies where a hierarchical decisional structure exists. He mentioned doubts surrounding the amendments of the Polish Competition and Consumer Protection Act concerning the introduction of administrative responsibility of ‘managers’.
