“Guilty but not Liable”: Action for damages against the European Commission following the Schneider and Mytravel Cases – Pierre Pirard (Pierre.Pirard@student.ulg.ac.be)
This dissertation aims at assessing the legal framework and effectiveness of the action for damages against the European Commission in the field of competition law. The present dissertation focuses in particular on several issues which are still in a state of uncertainty following the Schneider and MyTravel rulings, e.g., the principles governing the quantification of damages. It also draws comparisons from other areas of EU law, where the issue is governed by a larger body of case-law.
