Spanish Ministry of Justice proposes new legislation to enforce EU antitrust damages Directive.
The Spanish Ministry of Justice has put forward a proposal to bring into effect a European Union directive on antitrust damages. This proposal aims to align Spanish laws with EU regulations to ensure fair competition and protect consumers. The key focus is on facilitating claims for damages resulting from antitrust violations. The Ministry's approach involves adapting existing legislation to meet the requirements set out in the EU directive. This initiative is crucial for enhancing legal mechanisms to hold companies accountable for antitrust breaches and provide compensation to those affected.
