The Court of Justice of the European Union has established that any citizen or business has a right to full compensation for the harm caused to them by an infringement of the EU antitrust rules.
However, in practice most victims, particularly SMEs and consumers, rarely obtain compensation. The right to compensation is an EU right, but its exercise is governed by national rules. These often make it costly and difficult to bring antitrust damages actions.
That is why in 2013 the Commission proposed a Directive to remove the main obstacles to effective compensation, and to guarantee minimum protection for citizens and businesses, everywhere in the EU. Following adoption by the ordinary legislative procedure, Directive 2014/104/EU on Antitrust Damages Actions entered into force on 26 December 2014. Member States need to implement it in their legal systems by 27 December 2016.2019-07-09T08:47:15Z2018-03-12T14:38:15ZSector inquiry into media (3G)tag:data.europa.eu,2012:/dataset/sector-inquiry-media-3gThe Sector Inquiry was initiated in the beginning of 20042.

mobile services in a systematic manner.2019-07-09T08:46:35Z2018-03-12T10:43:27ZSector inquiry into energy and environmenttag:data.europa.eu,2012:/dataset/sector-inquiry-energyOn 29 April 2015, the European Commission launched a State aid sector inquiry into national capacity mechanisms.
The inquiry aims at gathering information on capacity mechanisms to examine, in particular, whether they ensure sufficient electricity supply without distorting competition or trade in the EU Single Market. It complements the Commission's Energy Union Strategy to create a connected, integrated and secure energy market in Europe. 2019-07-09T08:45:50Z2018-03-12T09:40:05ZSector inquiry into telecommunications (leased lines)tag:data.europa.eu,2012:/dataset/sector-inquiry-telecommunications-leased-linesOn 27 July 1999 the Commission decided to open an inquiry relating, among other things, to the provision and pricing of leased lines in the fifteen Member States. For the purpose of the leased line investigation, at the end of October 1999 the Commission sent extensive questionnaires to incumbent operators in the Member States, new entrants in EU markets, large business users of leased lines in different economic sectors and the competition and regulatory authorities in the Member States.
In September 2000, the Commission held a public hearing to discuss the preliminary findings of the inquiry and the ways to take the inquiry forward.
The inquiry was closed in December 2002 due to the strong drop in prices since the inquiry's launch.2019-07-09T08:44:54Z2018-03-12T10:27:34ZSector inquiry into telecommunications (roaming)tag:data.europa.eu,2012:/dataset/sector-inquiry-telecommunications-roamingThe Commission decided on 27 July 1999 to open a sector inquiry across the European Union covering three areas in the telecommunications sector. For practical reasons, the Commission is assessing these three areas in three phases. Following the inquiry into leased lines launched on 22 October 1999 (IP/99/786), mobile roaming is the second of the three areas to be examined as part of the telecommunications sector inquiry under the responsibility of competition Commissioner Monti. The third area involved is the provision of access to and use of the residential local loop.2019-07-09T08:43:59Z2018-03-12T10:35:12ZSector inquiry into e-commercetag:data.europa.eu,2012:/dataset/sector-inquiry-into-e-commerceThis sector inquiry will allow the Commission to identify possible competition concerns affecting European e-commerce markets.

The purpose of the enquiry is to detect any abuses of a dominant position. These new requests for information mark the third stage of the sectoral enquiry on the telecommunications industry initiated by the Commission on 27 July 1999; the first two stages, concerning leased lines and mobile roaming agreements, were launched at the end of 1999 and the beginning of 2000.2019-07-09T08:43:34Z2018-03-12T09:49:25ZSector inquiry into financial servicestag:data.europa.eu,2012:/dataset/sector-inquiry-financial-servicesThe European Commission launched inquiries into competition in financial services in June 2005, pursuant to Article 17 of Regulation (EC) No 1/2003.
