On January 29, 2015, an international portal Policy and Regulatory Report (PaRR), which delivers analyses on competition law, has published the comments of Jarosław Sroczyński on the implementation in Poland of the EU Directive on Antitrust Damages Action, signed on November 26, 2014. The Directive contains a number of provisions aimed at harmonizing the national laws and rules of conduct, to make it easier for consumers and businesses to obtain compensation for losses they have suffered in connection with the operation of cartels.
In the opinion of Mr. Sroczyński, the chances for a quick and efficient implementation of the Directive in Poland are rather poor. One of the main obstacles here is the excessive formalism of Polish courts.
