Journal Title: Yearbook of Antitrust and Regulatory Studies - Year 2017, Vol 10, Issue 15
Abstract
On 13–14 June 2017, a two-day conference entitled ‘EU Competition Law and the New Private Enforcement Regime: First Experiences from its Implementation’ was held at Uppsala University (Sweden). The conference, organized by the Swedish Network for Legal Studies (‘SNELS’) in collaboration with Uppsala University, was a follow-up to a 2014 conference on the, at that time, recently adopted EU directive on damages actions for breaches of competition law (Directive 2014/104/EU; ‘the Damages Directive’). The deadline for implementing the Damages Directive into national law lapsed on 27 December 2016, and the conference gathered practitioners and scholars from all over Europe to discuss first experiences with its implementation. As noted by the organizers, the Damages Directive (and the soft-law instruments accompanying it) does not only mark anew phase for competition law enforcement but also, more generally, afresh instance of EU harmonization of certain aspects of private law and civil litigation
