Abstract
Article contains review of the solutions included in bill on combating the unfair commercial practices of the entrepreneurs conducting trade of agricultural and food products, against the suppliers of those products, submitted during the previous cadence of Polish Parliament by the group of deputies of Polish People’s Party. Authors assess the bill critically, as drawn up inappropriately, not suiting the current law system and establishing the state control over the process of contracting on food market sector. The Article describes the “unfair commercial practices”, in particular the new way of regulation on the issue of the slotting fees. Authors analyse the proposed procedure, indicating the risks in the matter of equality of the parties (reversed burden of proof) as well as the possible negative consequences to the effi ciency of anti-monopoly office (model of request procedure). Article questions the compatibility of the bill with Polish constitution.
