Abstract
The article reviews changes introduced by the Act of 10th June 2014 on the Amendment of the Competition and Consumer Protection Act and the Civil Procedure Code in relation to merger control rules contained in the Polish Competition and Consumer Protection Act of 16th February 2007. The paper thoroughly discusses changes made to the normative criteria for the applicability of the notification duty and critically analyses the new executive regulation on the method of turnover calculation for undertakings participating in a concentration. The aim of the paper is to assess the latest solutions from the perspective of the practical application of Polish merger control rules. New procedural-law institutions remain outside the scope of this paper.
