SUMMARY:Seminar on the Role of National Judges in Antitrust Litigation in
  the Light of the EU Damages Directive
LOCATION:Budapest\, Hungary ()
DESCRIPTION:The Hungarian Competition Authority (GVH) and the OECD-GVH Re
 gional Centre for Competition in Budapest (Hungary) (“RCC”) will hold it
 s next competition law seminar for European competition law judges on 24
 -25 February 2017 in Budapest. The seminar will receive funding from the
  European Union.  Directive 2014/104/EU on antitrust damages actions set
  the 27th December 2016 as the deadline for Member States to implement i
 t in their legal systems. National judges will therefore have to take in
 to consideration the new rules derived from this text. This seminar will
  examine the impact of the Directive on the tasks national judges have t
 o undertake in antitrust litigation. Pursuant to this objective\, partic
 ipants will be provided with the necessary tools and information to bett
 er understand the Directive’s provisions as to ensure a coherent and con
 sistent application of EU law in this field by national courts. It will 
 cover the main features of the Damage Directive\, such as the disclosure
  of evidence\, the passing on defence\, the quantification of harm and l
 imitation periods. Moreover\, to assist national judges in the implement
 ation of these rules and concepts\, co-operation mechanisms and prelimin
 ary reference proceedings are made available and will be addressed durin
 g the seminar. Finally\, we will examine matters of competence from juri
 sdictional issues to effects of national decisions in other Member State
 s. Key national cases and relevant EU case law will be presented and dis
 cussed by experts in the field. In addition\, participants will actively
  be involved through hypothetical exercises and will be engaged in Q/A s
 essions with the experts. The speakers' short biographies can be downloa
