On 10 November 2014, the European Council formally approved the EU Directive on antitrust damages actions. This requires EU Member States to harmonise their procedural rules for antitrust damages actions, with the objective of making it easier for victims of competition law infringements to obtain compensation for losses suffered.
This was the final stage in the EU legislative approval process, and Member States will have until late 2016 to implement the required measures.
