Description

This unit was published in „International Cooperation of Competition Authorities in Europe: from Bilateral Agreements to Transgovernmental Networks” Błachucki, M., ed., (2020).

While implementing damages actions for a breach of European competition rules, the correlation of public and private enforcement was a much-debated question in science and in practice. In particular, the effects on the (hitherto well-functioning) leniency programme and common efforts preventing forum shopping. Both have remarkable and well-known effects on the cooperation between competition authorities. Therefore, it is expedient (not only from a legal historic point of view) to analyse the chronological order from the first beginnings to the white paper on damages actions, in order to obtain a clearer understanding of those obstacles.
