"The book arises out of the conference EU Competition and State Aid Rules: Interaction between public and private enforcement which was held in Rovinj, Croatia on 9-10 September 2015. ... this book goes to show that the private enforcement remains a contentious issue with many problem areas warranting further research and discussion. It provides an interesting contribution to the ongoing debate, including both national and supranational perspectives." (European Competition Law Review, Vol. 39 (09), September, 2018)
