*This article is an automatic translation of the original article, provided here for your convenience. Read the original article. On 11 June 2013, the Commission published a package of measures designed to facilitate, or at least to provide a framework for, liability actions for anti-competitive acts. The detailed analysis of each of these documents is beyond the scope of this Chronicle, but only the following points will be highlighted. The main element of this package' is a proposal for a Directive on the rules governing damages actions under national law for infringements of the competition law of the Member States and of the European Union. This is the culmination of a longstanding reflection, dating back to the 2005 Green Paper on this subject.
