Dear Sirs,

Polish lower Chamber of Parliament (Sejm) enacted an Act on Electronic Communications Law („ECL„) which will implement Directive (EU) 2018/1972 of the European Parliament and of the Council of 11 December 2018 establishing the European Electronic Communications Code (“EECC”). The ECL will replace the existing Act of 16 July 2004 Telecommunications Law („TL„) and certain provisions of the Act of 18 July 2002 on the Provision of Electronic Services (“PES”). Apart from that, most provisions of the new Act on Counteracting Abuse in Electronic Communications (“CAEC”) have come into force.

Below, we present what we believe are the most important changes for telecommunications business resulting from the ECL draft and CAEC. This analysis has been carried out based on the CAEC of the 28^th of July 2023 and the draft of ECL, which was passed by the Sejm on 12^th of July 2024.
