This paper discusses the key solutions proposed by the European Commission in its Green Paper and White Paper on Damages Actions for Breach of EC antitrust rules as well as the new draft directive. (Privatno-pravno sankcionisanje pravila konkurencije dobija na značaju u Evropi. Evropska komisija je učinila brojne pokušaje reformi u cilju harmonizacije i daljeg širenja privatno-pravnog sankcionisanja na evropskom nivou. Ovaj rad razmatra ključna rešenja predložena od strane Evropske komisije u Zelenoj i Beloj knjizi o naknadi štete zbog povrede konkurencije kao i u nacrtu nove direktive o naknadi štete.)
