As of mid-2018, the Damages Directive (Directive) has been
incorporated across all European Union (EU) Member States. The
European Commission (EC) has closed its previous probes against
Member States for failing to implement the Directive by the
original December 27, 2016 deadline, but is continuing to assess
whether certain transposing national laws are sufficient. In the
meantime, a multitude of claims have been and continue to be
brought across the EU. The extent to which this trend will continue
or whether the landscape of EU antitrust litigation will change is
yet to be seen.
