Objective
By the end of 2016, Member States should be ready to put into effect the long-awaited and hotly debated Directive on Antitrust Damages.
The Directive aims to strike a better balance between public and private enforcement of antitrust rules in the EU. It also strives to boost the protection of individuals’ rights and act as a deterrent from infringing antitrust rules.
Against this background, this conference aims to look into the complex issues of implementation and the challenges to be faced by national judges, as well as legal counsel for defendants and claimants in antitrust damages litigation.
Key topics
- Directive 2014/104/EU and the way forward
- Challenging issues of compensation and quantification
- The study on the passing-on of overcharges
- Procedural challenges
- The role of the CJEU and national competition authorities
Who should attend?
Lawyers in private practice, in-house counsel, members of the judiciary and economists actually or potentially dealing with antitrust damages cases and litigation.
