ALRUD Associate Anna Numerova spoke at “Russian-American workshop on antimonopoly enforcement”

On July, 9 ALRUD Associate Anna Numerova made a presentation on “Assessment of damages caused by a violation of Russian antitrust regulation” for the participants of the Russian-American workshop on antimonopoly enforcement.

According to Anna: “absence of established practice and general regulation of damages recovery from antimonopoly violators can generate a number of controversial issues, including the size of damages, to which the claimant is entitled, and evidence that can be used by the parties to a case”. One of the key conclusions of Anna’s speech stated that the amendments to the Competition law which elaborate a point regarding a compensation of damages will increase attractiveness of the antitrust private actions for damages for claimants. Anna`s proposal got an active support from the FAS.

Russian-American workshop on antimonopoly enforcement was organized by the Federal Antimonopoly Service of the Russian Federation and supported by the Embassy of the United States in Moscow. The participants included Igor Artemyev, Head of the FAS of the Russian Federation, Mr Douglas Howard Ginsburg, a Judge of the United States Court of Appeals for the District of Columbia Circuit, Russell Dunford, Head of the Office of International Affairs of the Federal Trade Comission (USA), Alexander Kinev, Head of the Anti-Cartel Department of the FAS, Sergey Puzyrevsky, Head of the Legal Department of the FAS and others.
