Reducing antitrust fines and limiting the liability of SME for antitrust violations – proposal of the interpretation of the specific inability to pay criterion

Summary/Abstract: Directive 2014/104/EU provides for a limitation of the liability of SMEs in cases where the application of its normal rules on joint and several liability would irretrievably jeopardise their economic viability and cause their assets to lose all their value.
