Abstract
This paper discusses the standard of proof in EU competition cases. It first strives to define the term "standard of proof", in particular by setting it against the term "standard of judicial review". The paper then looks at some issues that have been raised in relation to the standard of proof, such as what the appropriate standard is, and whether it should vary in different contexts. The paper adds a few words on the evaluation of evidence, before concluding.
