The principle of proportionality applies to competition proceedings especially, when it comes to the exercise by the competition authority of its powers of inspection. Their use limits the economic freedom and right to privacy of the scrutinised undertakings in order to protect free competition. The use of inspection powers must thus be proportionate and remain the least onerous possible for the inspected companies. In consequence, legislation must provide procedural guarantees of proportionality of inspections.
This article analyses whether the powers of inspection bestowed upon the Polish competition authority are regulated in a way that guarantees the observance of the principle of proportionality. The analysis focuses on the powers of control and search. Subsequently covered is also the issue of judicial control over the use of the powers of inspection by the competition authority. Proposals for changes in the practice of the competition authority as well as in the Polish legal framework are made in conclusion.
Le principe de la proportionnalité s'applique quand il vient à l'exercice des puissances de l'inspection par l'autorité de concurrence. L'utilisation de ces puissances - limitant, au nom de la protection de la libre concurrence, la liberté économique et le droit des entreprises à l'intimité – doit être proportionnée et la moins onéreuse possible pour les entreprises inspectées. Par conséquent, dans le cadre juridique les garanties procédurales de la proportionnalité des inspections doivent être fournies. L'article analyse si les puissances des inspections de l'autorité de concurrence polonaise sont réglées d'une manière qui garantit le respect du principe de la proportionnalité. - Źródło:
