نبذة مختصرة : Therefore, these principles can be described as follows. Firstly, the conditions laid down by the national law must not be so framed as to make it virtually impossible or excessively difficult to obtain reparation (principle of effectiveness). Secondly, the conditions laid down by national law must not be less favorable than those relating to similar domestic claims (principle of equivalence). It is important to mention that these two requirements are cumulative and not alternative. Once it is established that one or both of the requirements are not satisfied, the case law of the Court suggests that the national provisions concerned cannot be applied by the national court. The third part of the article concentrates on analysis of legal provisions which according to the requirements of EC law should be entrenched in the national law and which apply to the recovery of damage. Such national legal provisions can be divided into two main groups: substantive legal provisions and procedural legal provisions. In other words, these provisions of national law regulate such questions as the amount of compensation, the content and form of the reparation, the claimant, the defendant, the time limits for submission of a claim, the rules on evidence, and the determination of competent national courts in treating injury claims. It should be taken into consideration that the national courts are entrusted with the application of the abovementioned legal provisions.
