In the context of human rights law, there have been several changes of interpretation of the particular rights. One of such examples is right to privacy which has been extended from the human beings to the legal persons. Even though this shift of interpretation happened some time ago, it has been criticised that this change is not properly reflected in the European Competition Law, as regards the inspections in particular. This contribution will clarify these issues and it will try to seek the answer to the question whether there is a need for change of the European Competition law in order for it to be compatible with the right to privacy.
