Presque quinze ans après son adoption, le système d’application décentralisée prévu par le règlement n° 1/2003 a influencé le droit de la concurrence d’une manière difficilement prévisible, tant en termes d’ampleur que de qualité des activités des autorités nationales de concurrence. Plus récemment, la directive dite «ECN+» a été adoptée pour remédier aux lacunes de ce système, à savoir le défaut d’indépendance et de responsabilité de plusieurs autorités nationales de concurrence et un certain degré de divergence au sein du réseau européen de la concurrence. Dans ce scénario, l’autorité italienne de la concurrence a souvent été présentée comme une autorité bien équipée, indépendante et efficace, et – à moins de quelques exceptions – le débat international concernant cette réforme a pour la plupart négligé son impact possible dans le système juridique italien. Le present article vise à établir si, et dans quelle mesure, la directive ECN+ doit affecter l’application du droit de la concurrence en Italie et, en particulier, les guaranties fondamentales d’indépendance et d’efficacité qui constituent le fondement de l’État de droit dans le domaine du droit communautaire de la concurrence.

Almost fifteen years after its adoption, the system of decentralized enforcement laid down in Regulation 1/2003 has shaped competition law in a way that could hardly be predicted, in terms of both magnitude and quality of the activities of National Competition Authorities. More recently, the so-called ‘ECN+ Directive’ was adopted to address the shortcoming of such system, namely a perceived lack of independence and accountability of several NCAs and a certain degree of divergence within the European Competition Network. In this scenario, the Italian Competition Authority has frequently been depicted as a well-equipped, independent and effective enforcer and – with a few notable exceptions – the international debate concerning such reform has mostly overlooked its possible impact within the Italian legal system. This paper aims to assess whether, and to what an extent, the ECN+ Directive should affect the enforcement of competition law in Italy and, in particular, those fundamental guarantees of independence and effectiveness that form the core of the rule of law in the field of EU competition law. independent and effective enforcer and – with a few notable exceptions – the international debate concerning such reform has mostly overlooked its possible impact within the Italian legal system.

This article critically discusses how legal frameworks in the Czech Republic and Poland correspond to the requirements of ECN+ Directive with regard to the powers of NCAs. For that purpose, the authors analyse the obligations of EU Member States – within this scope – under this directive, as well as legal frameworks in the Czech Republic and Poland. Subsequently, the article compares the manner of regulating these issues in the national legal orders of these countries to the standard required by ECN+ Directive. The aim of this publication is to verify whether, and how, these two EU Member States meet those requirements, and to determine any potential differences in the approach taken by legislators in these EU Member States.

Le présent article a pour objectif d’analyser les effets de l’article 3 de la directive 1/2019 lors de sa transposition par les États membres. Le caractère incomplet et imprécis de l’article 3 de la directive 1/2019 pourrait provoquer une non-harmonisation dans les différents États membres de l’UE, notamment en Europe orientale, des droits de la défense dans la procédure en matière de concurrence. Plus précisément, pour éviter cet effet, les États membres doivent s’adapter aux normes européennes. Le présent article entend apporter un éclairage sur la manière dont les droits de la défense sont protégés par la Commission européenne dans le cadre des procedures en matière de concurrence.

The purpose of this paper is to analyze the effects of Article 3 of Directive 1/2019 when transposing it by Member States. The incompleteness and vagueness of Article 3 of Directive 2019/1 could cause non-harmonization in the various EU Member States, especially those in Eastern Europe, of the right of defence for the defendant party in the antitrust procedure. More specifically, to avoid this effect, Member States must adapt to European standards. In doing so, the paper intends to shed some light on how the right of defence is protected by the European Commission during competition proceedings.

Cet article analyse comment les dispositions juridiques de la directive ECN+ ont déjà été transposées dans la loi lituanienne sur la concurrence et examine les modifications supplémentaires qui pourraient être nécessaires pour transposer intégralement la directive ECN+ dans le droit national. Il présente en détail les difficultés juridiques rencontrées lors de la mise en oeuvre de la directive susmentionnée et donne un avis critique sur certaines des modifications qui ont déjà été apportées.
