The New Law on Antitrust Damages Actions – What Does It Mean for Businesses

Cartels or abuse of a dominant position, infringements of the EU antitrust rules in general, are harmful for the economy and consumers, and cause concrete harm to concrete victims. Any citizen or business has a right to full compensation for the harm caused to them by an infringement of the EU antitrust rules. The transposition of the Directive on Antitrust Damages Actions to local legislations will make the exercise of the right to compensation – possible.
