The Italian court referred several questions to the Court of Justice of the European Communities for a preliminary ruling concerning Community competition law (Article 81 EC), as to whether that agreement infringed not only Italian law on the protection of competition but also the EC Treaty, in so far as insurance companies of other Member States also carrying on their activities in Italy also took part in the agreement ruled unlawful, whether third parties might claim damages for harm caused by the prohibited agreement, and whether national rules such as those at issue in the main proceedings on the designation of the courts and tribunals having jurisdic ...[+++]tion, the limitation period for bringing actions for damages, and the amount of damages to be paid were compatible with Article 81 EC.

It is for the national court to determine whether a national rule which provides that the limitation period for seeking compensation begins to run from the day on which the prohibited arrangement or practice was adopted, particularly where it also imposes a short limitation period that cannot be suspended, renders it practically impossible or excessively difficult to exercise the right to seek compensation.

The CFI confirms the view of the Commission that a formal request for information sent by the Commission to the Member State concerned interrupts the limitation period. In the present case, the limitation period was therefore interrupted on 17 January 1997, the date in which the Commission sent its first request for information.
