Abstract

Privatnopravno sprovođenje prava konkurencije u vidu tužbi za naknadu štete od strane oštećenih lica predstavlja važan aspekt sveukupnog režima prava konkurencije. Ovoj materiji je u pravu Srbije posvećen član 73. Zakona o zaštiti konkurencije što je korisno ali i nedovoljno za potpunije i svrsishodno regulisanje.

U kontekstu opštih napora na evropskom kontinentu za jačanje ovog oblika sprovođenja prava konkurencije u ovom članku iznose se ideje za poboljšanje pravnog okvira u Srbiji u domenu jačanja uloge udruženja potrošača. Ovim udruženjima bi trebalo biti omogućeno da iniciraju tužbe za nadoknadu štete koju su pretrpeli potošači i to posebno u situacijama kada su isti suočeni sa velikim preprekama u eventualnom pokretanju sopstvenih postupaka. U tom smislu se u članku iznosi skica modela koji bi mogao biti primenjen.

Private enforcement of competition law through damages actions by the persons who suffered them represents an important aspect of the whole regime of competition law. In Serbian law, Article 73 of the Law on the Protection of Competition is dedicated to this matter, being both useful and insufficient for complete and thorough regulation.

In the context of general efforts in Europe to strengthen this form of competition law enforcement, this article puts forward ideas for the improvement of legal framework in Serbia regarding the strengthening of the role of consumer associations. These associations should be allowed to initiate damages actions for the losses suffered by the consumers, especially in situations where these are faced with large obstacles for initiating the actions themselves. To achieve this, the article presents a sketch of a model which could be implemented.
