Journal Title: Yearbook of Antitrust and Regulatory Studies - Year 2018, Vol 11, Issue 17
Abstract
The Book entitled ‘Implementation of the EU Damages Directive in Central and Eastern European Countries’, edited by Professor Anna Piszcz, was published in Warsaw, Poland in 2017. The publication date of this book was perfectly chosen, bearing in mind that Directive 2014/104/EU on antitrust damages actions (hereinafter, the Damages Directive) was signed into law on 26 November 2014 and published in the Official Journal of the European Union on 5 December 2014. All Member States were obliged to implement the Directive by 27 December 2016. However, this was not an easy task since it involved a whole package of new legal provisions aimed at increasing the amount of private enforcement.
