About this event
The new Digital Markets Act (DMA) strives to keep digital markets open and contestable despite the presence of important gatekeepers. The first step is to identify a gatekeeper, which the DMA does through quantitative and qualitative benchmarks. Next to the presence of core platform services, this will also be the first aspect that potential gatekeepers are likely to contest. This instalment of Competition Law in Conversation looks at the gatekeeper notion, its implications, and its overlaps with the presence of market power under Article 102 TFEU. We are joined by Antoine Babinet from the European Commission and Florence Thépot from the University of Strasbourg. Vicky Robertson from The Competition Law Hub moderates.
