Abstract

The article discusses the meaning of the effect on trade criterion and the convergence rule in EU jurisprudence and the case law of the European Commission. Further analyzed is the practice of parallel application of Polish and EU competition law by Polish courts and the President of the Competition and Consumers Protection Office. The article indicates the influence that the interpretation given in the EU to the term „effect on trade” and the convergence rule had on the unification of the application of Polish and EU competition rules. Assessed is also the correctness of the application of the effect on trade criterion in Polish case law.
