Abstract
The article presents current trends in EU case law and publications concerning the distinction between agreements which are prohibited due to their object and those which are prohibited on grounds of their effect in light of the significant changes that have recently occurred in this field. These changes are manifested particularly by the continuous expansion of the open list of agreements which are prohibited by object, meanwhile in the absence of the application of agreements which are prohibited solely because of the anti-competitive effect they may cause. This trend is accompanied by increasing demand for the consideration of the wider economic environment already at the stage of analyzing the objects of an agreement.
