Cuestiones prejudiciales candentes en Luxemburgo y su posible impacto en una aplicación privada del derecho de la competencia más eficiente

Private enforcement of competition law in all Member States, and especially in Spain, is in full swing. All commercial courts in Spain and other Member States are dealing with actions for damages arising from breaches of competition law. These lawsuits have raised a series of doubts and questions that have been referred to the CJEU for clarification. Thus, the Court of Justice of the European Union will decide in the coming year on limitation periods, assignment and accumulation mechanisms, intra-group liability, and data protection and competition law.

On 11 October, at the Voxel School in Madrid, we will be holding a conference entitled ‘Hot preliminary ruling issues in Luxembourg and their possible impact on a more efficient private application of competition law’, in collaboration with the University of Valladolid, the University of the Basque Country UPV-EHU and the Ministry of Science, Innovation and Universities.

In the second part of the conference, we will analyse the response of the British and American courts to breaches of competition law in digital environments.
