Resumo: It will be argued in this article that the EU Recommendation on common principles for collective redress might have limited impact on the field of competition law due to: several uncertainties regarding the legal standing in class actions; difficulties in their funding; and the risk of forum shopping with cross-border actions. Nevertheless, Belgium and Great Britain have recently introduced class actions into their national legal systems and addressed some of the difficulties which other Member States were experiencing already. It will also be suggested that the Portuguese model – the ‘Popular Action’ – and recent Portuguese practice may be considered an interesting example to follow in order to overcome some of the identified obstacles to private antitrust enforcement.

Néanmoins, la Belgique et le Royaume-Uni ont récemment introduit dans leurs lois nationales des actions de groupes et ont répondu aux certaines difficultés qui étaient déjà vécue par d’autres États membres. Nous soutenons aussi l’avis que le modèle portugais – Action Populaire – et la pratique récente des actions collectives au Portugal, peuvent être considérés comme des exemples intéressants à suivre afin de surmonter certains obstacles à l’application privée du droit de la concurrence.Centre for Antitrust and Regulatory Studies, University of Warsaw, Faculty of ManagementVeritati - Repositório Institucional da Universidade Católica PortuguesaPais, Sofia Oliveira2016-03-10T11:59:06Z20152015-01-01T00:00:00Zinfo:eu-repo/semantics/publishedVersioninfo:eu-repo/semantics/articleapplication/pdfhttp://hdl.handle.net/10400.14/19293engPAIS, Sofia Oliveira - Private antitrust enforcement: a new era for collective redress?.
