Abstract: This article focuses on the principle of sincere cooperation in the antitrust enforcement field by analysing its two dimensions: the first one between public and private enforcement, the second one between the different actors of public enforcement. In particular, the article will consider, on the one hand, the cooperation between public enforcement by competition authorities (Commission and NCAs) and private enforcement by national courts envisaged by Regulation 1/2003 and by the Damages Directive and, on the other hand, the cooperation amongst competition authorities provided by Regulation 1/2003 and by the ECN+ Directive, with the aim of demonstrating how both dimensions of the principle of sincere cooperation play an essential role in order to ensure the efficiency and effectiveness of antitrust enforcement.
