The EU Antitrust Damages Directive : Transposition in the Member States

This Book makes a significant and original contribution to the literature on the developing area of private enforcement of EU competition law. It delivers a significant, rigorous and comprehensive analysis of the transposition across a broad selection of MS (MS) of a major EU Directive introduced with the aim of harmonising and facilitation competition law damages actions across the European Union. This book seeks to review and analyse the implementation of the Antitrust Damages Directive across a selected number of EU MS. It aims at analysing the transposition of the Directive into national law firstly from a generic EU law implementation perspective, considering MS processes followed in implementing this EU Directive- ‘the Antitrust Damages Directive’. The book also looks more specifically at the national debates and their consequences for the substantive choices adopted in terms of implementation of the various Directive provisions.
