The Supreme Court dismissed the cassation appeal filed by the Polish Securities Paper Factory against the Competition and Consumer Protection Office's decision. The court found that the agreement between the factory and local authorities did not constitute a distribution agreement under Article 6(1)(2) of the Act on Protection of Competition and Consumers because the parties were not competitors. Consequently, the specific exemption for such agreements was not applicable, and the Office's finding of a competition restriction was upheld.
