Description
A good understanding of economic principles, analysis and methods has become an important element of a well-founded ruling by the national judge, whether in cases of public or private enforcement of competition law. This is even more so since late 2016, by when the Member States had to implement the Antitrust Damages Actions Directive and take into account its accompanying documents. These e-presentations will provide national judges with a good understanding of basic economic concepts in EU competition law and with the tools to assess economic evidence and to quantify the harm caused by infringement of competition rules. Produced with the financial support of the Training of National Judges Programme of the European Union (European Commission DG Competition).
