".
The Committee on Internal Market and Consumer Protection has formulated its position based on a certain reality: the negative effects resulting from the breach of antitrust legislation can be felt economically very often at the end of the commercial chain, affecting end consumers and small enterprises.
In this case, damages for the losses suffered are important but, at the same time, they are difficult to obtain, as many have been affected and small sums are involved. As a result, we have requested a package of legislative and non-legislative measures to provide the tool which all European citizens affected by such a situation can use to defend their right to full, proper damages.
We support all measures designed to eliminate difficulties in achieving this objective: facilitating access to documents, reducing the costs of legal procedures and reversing the burden of proof.
We welcome the Commission’s proposal to combine representative actions brought by qualified entities with collective actions, with explicit agreement expressed. However, we consider that ‘opt-out’ collective actions must continue to be discussed, given the benefit they provide: a ‘once and for all’ settlement and less uncertainty."@en1
