January 2015 marks entry into force of the 2014 Amendment Act, reforming Poland’s competition law. This article outlines the main changes and analyses in detail four of them: fines for individuals, leniency plus, settlements, and changes to the Authority’s inspection powers. It addresses the question to what extent the reform achieves its aim of increasing the effectiveness of enforcement.
