The European Commission's Digital Markets Act

At the forefront of Big Tech regulation, the European Commission introduced in December 2020 the Digital Markets Act. The act proposes a set of ex ante rules empowering EU authorities to better prevent anticompetitive practices from "gatekeepers".

In this episode of the Podcast Series "Antitrust Code by Concurrences", Fayrouze Masmi-Dazi (Partner, Frieh Associés) discusses the Commission's proposal, the role of gatekeeper and the recent developments in France, UK and Germany.
