The activities of CDC Cartel Damage Claims in relation to the German cement cartels have attracted considerable attention both in Germany and internationally. CDC brought two legal actions in Germany concerning damage claims acquired from more than 35 corporate customers of the German cement producers, at the time when such actions had not been ever tested before. The first action for damages was filed in 2005 before the Regional Court of D\u00fcsseldorf, and the second one in 2015 before the Regional Court of Mannheim. The action filed in 2005 was the first large scale antitrust damage action in Europe. In 2019, the parties reached an out-of-court settlement for an undisclosed amount. <\/p>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t

En avril 2003, l'Office f\u00e9d\u00e9ral allemand des ententes a inflig\u00e9 des amendes d'un montant total de 702 millions d'euros \u00e0 douze entreprises et \u00e0 leurs repr\u00e9sentants pour leur participation aux cartels allemands du ciment. Les six principaux producteurs allemands,\u00a0Alsen AG (aujourd'hui Holcim Deutschland AG)<\/a>,\u00a0Dyckerhoff AG (aujourd'hui Dyckerhoff GmbH)<\/a>,\u00a0HeidelbergCement AG<\/a>,\u00a0Lafarge jZement GmbH<\/a>,\u00a0Readymix AG (aujourd'hui Cemex Deutschland AG)<\/a>, et\u00a0Schwenk Zement KG,<\/a>\u00a0ont re\u00e7u 660 millions d'euros d'amende. Selon l'Office f\u00e9d\u00e9ral allemand des ententes, les producteurs de ciment avaient conclu des accords ill\u00e9gaux de quotas et de partage du march\u00e9 dans toute l'Allemagne, au plus tard depuis le d\u00e9but des ann\u00e9es 1990. En juin 2009, en appel, l'amende a \u00e9t\u00e9 r\u00e9duite \u00e0 330 millions d'euros en raison de donn\u00e9es incompl\u00e8tes pour la d\u00e9termination des amendes. Toutefois, le tribunal r\u00e9gional sup\u00e9rieur de D\u00fcsseldorf et la Cour f\u00e9d\u00e9rale de justice allemande ont confirm\u00e9 l'existence des ententes dans le secteur allemand du ciment.<\/p>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t

Son premier recours, introduit en ao\u00fbt 2005, a \u00e9t\u00e9 jug\u00e9 recevable par la Cour f\u00e9d\u00e9rale de justice en 2009. Par la suite, l'action a toutefois \u00e9t\u00e9 rejet\u00e9e par le tribunal r\u00e9gional sup\u00e9rieur de D\u00fcsseldorf en appel en f\u00e9vrier 2015, \u00e9tant donn\u00e9 que le tribunal a estim\u00e9 que la cession des cr\u00e9ances par les entreprises l\u00e9s\u00e9es \u00e0 CDC n'\u00e9tait pas valable. La principale raison de l'invalidit\u00e9 des cessions \u00e9tait le pr\u00e9tendu objectif unique de transf\u00e9rer le risque de co\u00fbt des soci\u00e9t\u00e9s l\u00e9s\u00e9es \u00e0 CDC qui, de l'avis des tribunaux, n'avait pas la capacit\u00e9 financi\u00e8re de supporter les co\u00fbts n\u00e9gatifs au moment des cessions. En 2005, en revanche, le tribunal r\u00e9gional de D\u00fcsseldorf, statuant sur la valeur litigieuse, avait suppos\u00e9 que la situation \u00e9conomique de CDC ne serait pas s\u00e9rieusement compromise si cette derni\u00e8re devait supporter les frais de justice en cas de perte de l'affaire.<\/p>

En r\u00e9alit\u00e9, CDC a vers\u00e9 des avances sur les frais de justice pour un montant total de plus de 713 000 euros \u00e0 la fin de la proc\u00e9dure. En outre, CDC a rembours\u00e9 l'int\u00e9gralit\u00e9 des co\u00fbts \u00e0 toutes les parties adverses apr\u00e8s le rejet de son action en dommages et int\u00e9r\u00eats et du recours, pour un montant total de plus de 3,5 millions d'euros. Ainsi, tous les frais ont \u00e9t\u00e9 pay\u00e9s. Le tribunal r\u00e9gional sup\u00e9rieur de D\u00fcsseldorf n'a pas autoris\u00e9 un nouvel appel contre son jugement du 18 f\u00e9vrier 2015. Il est donc devenu d\u00e9finitif.<\/p>

Le 16 septembre 2015, CDC a d\u00e9pos\u00e9 sa deuxi\u00e8me action en dommages et int\u00e9r\u00eats relative aux cartels allemands du ciment, cette fois devant le tribunal r\u00e9gional de Mannheim contre HeidelbergCement. Dans le contexte du jugement du tribunal de D\u00fcsseldorf du 18 f\u00e9vrier 2015, CDC a pris des mesures pour garantir les frais de justice d\u00e9favorables pour trois instances. CDC a fourni une garantie pr\u00e9ventive de plus de 2,3 millions d'euros au profit du d\u00e9fendeur et de l'\u00c9tat. L'introduction de cette nouvelle action en justice montre le d\u00e9vouement et la pers\u00e9v\u00e9rance de CDC en mati\u00e8re d'ex\u00e9cution des demandes de dommages et int\u00e9r\u00eats pour infraction aux r\u00e8gles de concurrence.<\/p>

Le 24 janvier 2017, le tribunal r\u00e9gional de Mannheim a confirm\u00e9 la recevabilit\u00e9 de l'action. Toutefois, le tribunal de Mannheim a rejet\u00e9 la demande dans son int\u00e9gralit\u00e9, car elle \u00e9tait prescrite. Le tribunal de Mannheim a ainsi suivi sa cour d'appel, le tribunal r\u00e9gional sup\u00e9rieur de Karlsruhe, qui avait d\u00e9cid\u00e9 dans un jugement du 9 novembre 2016 qu'une disposition l\u00e9gale de 2005 suspendant les d\u00e9lais de prescription dans les affaires de dommages et int\u00e9r\u00eats pour infraction aux r\u00e8gles de concurrence ne serait pas applicable aux demandes ant\u00e9rieures \u00e0 l'entr\u00e9e en vigueur de celle-ci. CDC a d\u00e9pos\u00e9 un recours devant le tribunal r\u00e9gional sup\u00e9rieur de Karlsruhe contre le jugement du tribunal de Mannheim.<\/p>

Dans son arr\u00eat historique du 12 juin 2018, la Cour f\u00e9d\u00e9rale de justice allemande a apport\u00e9 une s\u00e9curit\u00e9 juridique longtemps attendue en mati\u00e8re de d\u00e9lais de prescription. Le jugement confirme le point de vue de la majorit\u00e9 des tribunaux r\u00e9gionaux sup\u00e9rieurs en Allemagne et a annul\u00e9 l'interpr\u00e9tation du tribunal r\u00e9gional sup\u00e9rieur de Karlsruhe, qui a conduit au jugement du tribunal de Mannheim rejetant la deuxi\u00e8me action en justice de CDC.<\/p>

En 2019, les parties sont parvenues \u00e0 un accord extrajudiciaire pour un montant non divulgu\u00e9. L'affaire est maintenant enti\u00e8rement r\u00e9gl\u00e9e. Cette affaire a dur\u00e9 14 ans et est unique en son genre. Il s'agissait de la premi\u00e8re action antitrust de grande envergure en Europe, qui a ouvert la voie \u00e0 une culture d'application priv\u00e9e en Europe et a apport\u00e9 une s\u00e9curit\u00e9 juridique aux autres actions intent\u00e9es par CDC. Cette affaire d\u00e9montre \u00e9galement la r\u00e9sistance de CDC face aux participants \u00e0 l'entente et montre que CDC consacrera le temps n\u00e9cessaire pour que les entreprises l\u00e9s\u00e9es obtiennent r\u00e9paration.<\/p>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/section>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
