Abstract

Pravica do odškodnine prava EU je lahko v nekaterih primerih v nasprotju z učinkovitostjo javnega izvrševanja pravil EU o konkurenci s strani Evropske komisije in nacionalnih organov, pristojnih za konkurenco. Tako je v primeru, ko žrtev kršitve pravil EU o konkurenci zaprosi za dostop do dokumentov, ki jih je organ, pristojen za konkurenco, pridobil v okviru programa prizanesljivosti. Razkritje teh dokumentov bi bilo škodljivo za udeležence kartela, na način, da bi jih odvrnilo od sodelovanja v okviru programa prizanesljivosti. Prav tako bi njihovo razkritje zmanjšalo privlačnost in učinkovitost programov prizanesljivosti na ravni EU ali nacionalni ravni. Po drugi strani pa ti dokumenti vsebujejo informacije, ki jih žrtve kršitev pravil EU o konkurenci potrebujejo za utemeljitev odškodninske tožbe. Magistrsko delo preučuje načine dostopa do dokumentov iz programa prizanesljivosti. Avtorica poskuša na podlagi analize sodne prakse Sodišč EU, nacionalnih sodišč držav članic, sodišč tretjih držav in Evropskega sodišča za človekove pravice odgovoriti na vprašanje ali se naj žrtvam kršitev pravil EU o konkurenci zagotovi dostop do dokumentov iz programa prizanesljivosti. Avtorica prav tako opozori tudi na težave pri dostopu do navedenih dokumentov, ki so posledica odsotnosti pravno zavezujočih aktov na ravni EU. V zadnjem delu magistrskega dela je pozornost namenjena reformi programa prizanesljivosti in sprejetim ukrepom na ravni EU, katerih namen je zagotoviti učinkovito izvrševanje pravil EU o konkurenci.

Secondary title: DISCLOSURE OF LENIENCY DOCUMENTS FOR THE PURPOSE OF ANTITRUST DAMAGES ACTIONS
Secondary abstract: EU right to compensation can sometimes be at odds with the effectiveness of public enforcement of EU competition rules by the European Commission and by the competition authorities of the EU Member States. This is the case when the victim of a competition law infringement is seeking access to documents that a competition authority obtained under a leniency programme. Disclosure of leniency documents is not only detrimental to the cartel participants, because it might deter them from cooperating with the competition authority under its leniency programme, but might seriously undermine the attractiveness and thus the effectiveness of leniency programmes. On the other hand, these documents contain valuable information for victims of a competition law infringement. Leniency documents could greatly help victims to prove their case. This thesis assess the different routes for victims of a competition law infringement to seek disclosure of leniency documents. The author explores the question whether or not leniency documents can be disclosed in actions for damages. On the basis of the analysis of the case law of the Court of Justice of the European Union, courts of the EU Member States, third-country national courts and European Court of Human Rights the author draws attention to the challanges victims of a competition law infringement face when trying to access leniency documents. In the final part of this thesis, the focal point is centred on the measures taken at EU level to this end.
