Companies have six months to implement the necessary changes.

On 24 June, upon signing it by the President, the new act on consumer rights was published in the Journal of Laws of the Republic of Poland. According to the interim provisions, the act will come into effect after 6 months of the publication, i.e. on 25 December 2014. Hence, in practice, business entities will follow the current regulations until Christmas, whereas after Christmas they will have to obey the provisions of the new act.    

At the same time, we would like to draw your attention to two issues which were amended at the final stage of drafting the bill, i.e. call centre and warranty period.
