| Abstract [eng] |
The aim of this master thesis is to analyse the impact of damages actions on the effectiveness of leniency. Recently the European Union cartel enforcement policy has shifted towards strengthening of private enforcement, particularly as regards aim to increase amount of damages action filed for competition infringements. However such policy may lead to negative impact on the effectiveness of public enforcement, currently dominated by leniency. Analysis provided in this master thesis explains how in essence interaction of private and public enforcement has to be regulated, subsequently analyse how main collision points of damages actions and leniency (disclosure of evidence, limitation of liability) have to be regulated, and also evaluates impact and effectiveness of regulation provided by adopted Damages Directive on these issues. Consequently the performed analysis establishes guidelines for policy makers (legislators) allowing to evaluate and direct future regulatory approaches both on EU and Member States level in a manner that avoids negative impact of damages actions on leniency and cartel enforcement in general. |
