Abstract

S uite à l’harmonisation des règles matérielles dans le cadre du règlement ( CE ) no. 1/2003, la C ommission a récemment commencé à se pencher sur la question de l’harmonisation des règles de procédures et de sanctions, alors que le Parlement européen a, en janvier 2016, demandé l’introduction de sanctions contre les personnes physiques. C e dossier examine l’état actuel des sanctions individuelles dans les États membres, fait état des difficultés institutionnelles posées par ces sanctions individuelles en particulier à l’égard des programmes de clémence, et se penche sur les avantages et inconvénients de l’introduction de sanctions individuelles, en particulier de nature pénale. C e dossier examine l’expérience de la France, de l’Allemagne, du R oyaume- U ni et des États- U nis en matière de sanctions pénales et présente des données empiriques ayant trait aux attitudes du public dans différents États membres et aux États- U nis envers les infractions au droit de la concurrence. * Following the substantive harmonisation in Regulation (EC) no. 1/2003, the Commission has started more recently to focus on procedure and sanctions, and in January 2016, the European Parliament called for penalties against natural persons. This ‘On Topic’ issue looks at the current state of individual sanctions on the Member State level, examines the institutional challenges these individual sanctions present especially for leniency programmes, and discusses the pros and cons of introducing further individual, in particular criminal sanctions. This ‘On Topic’ issue examines the experience with criminal sanctions in France, Germany, the United Kingdom and the United States, and presents empirical evidence on public attitudes towards competition law infringements in various Member States and the United States.
