A newly published book „The consumer on the energy market” (CH Beck 2013, ed. M. Czarnecka) contains an article by Jarosław Sroczyński, entitled „Benefits for consumers stemming from commitment decisions of the OCCP”. Mr. Sroczyński discussed the issue of so-called „consumer benefits”, understood as the value which consumers receive or save in result of commitment decisions of the President of the Office of Competition and Consumer Protection. In his article, Mr. Sroczyński analysed the economic outcome of those decisions, based on calculations pertaining to selected Polish cases, against the comparative, international background.
