83As the Advocate General observed in point 73 of his Opinion, Article 17(1) of Directive 2014/104 does not impose new substantive obligations on any of the parties to the dispute concerned. That provision and, more specifically, its second sentence, is intended, by contrast, in accordance with the ‘national procedures’ to which it refers, to confer on national courts a special power in disputes relating to actions for damages for infringements of competition law.
