Abstract

The aim of the paper is to review the legal nature of the consultation procedure between European Commission (EC) and the President of the Office of Electronic Communications (UKE). In the procedure, EC analyses a draft of the regulatory measures notified by UKE and has right to issue a recommendation. Moreover, the author discusses a problem of the judicial control of the decision issued by UKE as a result of the consultation with EC. According to the author, only the national courts (SOKiK) are legitimate to control the decision.
