He represented the Securities and Exchange Commission and the Committee of Banking Supervision in the proceedings in the Main Administrative Court. Mr. Marek Wierzbowski s activity outside the enterprise of Bank BPH is not competitive in relation to the Bank. Messrs. Lovaglio and Bielecki are members of the Management Board of Bank Pekao S.A. ("Pekao") and Mr. Fiorentinno is member of the Supervisory Board of Pekao. Since Bank BPH S.A. and Pekao are members of the same Capital Group, according to the provisions of the Law of 16 February 2007 on Competition and Customer Protection, activities between Bank BPH S.A. and Pekao including appointment of Supervisory Board members within the banks do not require notification to the President of the Office for Competition and Customer Protection, and therefore such activities are not regarded as activities between competing entities on the basis of this Law. However, as Bank BPH SA and Pekao offer similar banking services and products on the Polish market, they may be currently viewed in this context, as competing with each other. 17
