UOKiK President Tomasz Chróstny points out that fraud and false advertising on social media, particularly on Meta platforms, pose a serious problem, and the office is acting regarding possible violations of competition and consumer protection law. #scam #fałszyweReklamy #bigtech (translated)

Karol Michalak wrote that for the past three years he has been fighting against the discrimination of Wisła Kraków fans. He claimed that he sent hundreds of letters to police departments, mayors, and presidents, corresponded with the Commissioner for Human Rights, UOKiK, and international organizations, and also prepared a 40-page study on the impact of boycotts on competition. He described that clubs from all over Poland treated him as a person of lower status, and he himself was insulted and humiliated. He wrote that despite this, he did not give up on his efforts to be able to watch matches. However, he added that the post and the approach of its author discouraged him from football. He described this person as, in a sense, the face of Canal+ and pointed out that the station has long been associated with the Ekstraklasa. After years of discrimination, he felt "spat upon." Michalak also wrote that Legia should not give up and should seek documents that would prevent people from watching football. He concluded his statement by saying that he no longer wants to be part of this environment, which — in his opinion — has nothing to do with the beauty of football. #piłkanożna #dyskryminacja #kibice (translated)

Gutab wrote that the fear of a change in the owner of TVN prompted Donald Tusk to take control of the station and place it on the list of strategic enterprises. He stated that although the change of ownership took place, the European Commission gave its consent, and the UOKiK found no grounds to intervene in the transaction. The author assessed that these actions were ineffective and had a superficial nature. #TVN #Polska #media (translated)

The author wrote that the European Commission approved the transaction, and UOKiK found that there were no grounds to intervene, as it was concluded by American media conglomerates. He added that the Polish government acted independently nonetheless. He compared this situation to the takeover of TVP, which he described as forceful, and stated that at that time the government had no similar doubts. #KomisjaEuropejska #UOKiK #media #PL #US (translated)

The Polish regulator UOKiK has opened an investigation against Google due to suspicion of abusing its dominant market position in negotiations with media regarding the payment for content, claiming that the company provided publishers with insufficient information for fair negotiations. #istraživanje #Poljska #Google (translated)

The author wrote that the president of UOKiK has charged four companies from the Google group and looked into the corporation's negotiations with the media. According to him, Google has not signed contracts with the majority of Polish press publishers that define the terms of use for their content. He suggested that what he referred to as a "state within a state" may be coming to an end. https://t.co/YDxz9baohc #Google #media #UOKiK #PL (translated)

I'm already a bit tired of this war Nawrocki–Tusk over who wants to lower fuel prices more and who will hit their opponent harder. On a daily basis, I deal with law and legislation, so instead of another press conference, I prefer to try to do something more useful. Let's think about whether it is possible to create a mechanism that works independently of who is currently in power and who lives in the Presidential Palace. Let's tentatively call it the Fuel Price Stabilization Mechanism - nothing more spectacular comes to mind. I’m not talking about flashy slogans like administrative price setting or the prime minister should lower it, or the president presented a bill, so the problem is solved. I’m talking about an automatic system established in law. I imagined it so that if for a certain period, the reference price of oil or wholesale fuel exceeds a set threshold, a temporary reduction in excise tax is automatically triggered. Without a political decision being made anew each time, because that leads to endless arguments at the expense of citizens. The law specifies in advance: - when the mechanism is triggered, - by how much the burden is reduced, - how long it operates, - when it automatically expires. Of course, within the limits of EU law. Because it is worth reminding a rather prosaic fact - a member state cannot arbitrarily eliminate fuel taxation. Here the 2003/96/EC directive comes in, determining minimum levels of taxation for gasoline and diesel. So just as it should be done - first the law and only then the slogans - I’m directing this to my favorite camp, the surroundings of the office. Now there remains a more important problem. If we lower the excise tax, the budget receives less money. This cost does not disappear, it does not magically evaporate. You can't just move it to the "someone may pay later" column. That’s why the mechanism should have a second arm - a temporary levy on the truly extraordinary portion of profits in the fuel sector. But not on the entire profit and definitely not on the normal operation of the enterprise. Not because the company dared to make a profit but solely from that portion that exceeds the previously defined reference level. The current government project wants to use a similar construct - the reference point is margins from 2025 increased by 20%, and only the excess is taxed. The tax rate in the project is 60%, and the projected revenues are about 4 billion PLN. The government indicates that the funds are meant to compensate for the loss of VAT and excise tax revenue resulting from protective actions. However, I would change one fundamental thing. Only PROSPECTIVELY. First, we establish the rule, then we apply it. Not the other way around. This significantly reduces the dispute over retroactivity and legal safety - the reason for Mr. Nawrocki's veto. Revenues from such a levy should be additionally separated and accounted for solely for the purposes of the stabilization mechanism. Then we can show the citizen a simple calculation: - the budget lost X from the temporary excise tax reduction, - the extraordinary levy brought Y, - and the difference is Z. No miracles or political alchemy - simplicity in full scope. But there is still one problem. If the state reduces the burden by 20 groszy per liter, it doesn’t automatically mean that the driver will see 20 groszy less on the sign. Part of the relief may be taken by the margin because who doesn’t want to make a profit... That’s why there should be parallel, public monitoring: - raw material price, - wholesale price, - taxes, - average margin, - retail price. If there is an anomaly, we have UOKiK and competition law instruments. There’s no need to immediately create a state office to set the price of diesel at 7:43 in the morning. And a final safeguard. The price returns below the statutory threshold for a certain period? The reduction expires, the levy expires. The system returns to normal mode. #ustawy #ceny #paliwa (translated)

Według UOKiK grupy Neuca, Farmacol oraz Polska Grupa Farmaceutyczna miały w latach 2015-2022 łącznie ponad 70 proc. udziału w tym rynku. To właśnie między największymi hurtowniami miało dochodzić do wymiany informacji, które – zdaniem Urzędu – pozwalały ograniczać rywalizację. #UOKiK #rynki #farmaceutyka #PL
