Abstract

The President of the Office of Competition and Consumers Protection (hereafter, UOKiK) issued a decision on 2 June 2006 (RKT-35/2006) finding that Marquard Media Polska has abused its dominant position (breach of Article 8(2)(1), (5) and 7 of the Act of 15 December 2000 on Competition and Consumers Protection) by imposing unfair prices, counteracting the formation of conditions necessary for the emergence or development of competition and market sharing. Marquard Media was ordered to refrain from the said conduct and fined 1.972.600 złoty (approx. 500.000 euro).
