Summary/Abstract: The criterion of effect on trade between Member States has served, for more than half a century, as the dividing criterion for the application of national and EU competition law, respectively. This criterion, which has gone through both expansion and contraction and then further expansion in terms of its scope of application, is gaining importance with time, due to the ever-greater substantive and procedural consequences of the applicability or inapplicability of EU competition law. The only way in which this crucial question will be placed under a solid framework is if the relationship between national and EU competition law were determined beforehand, something which, to some extent, the new Directive on Damages Actions, currently in the final phase of adoption, aims to do.
