| NOTAS: | "As the European Commission finalises its Digital Markets Act (DMA) proposal, CERRE presents its recommendations for the i) scope, ii) criteria, iii) obligations and iv) enforcement of the DMA for a fair and competitive online economy. The CERRE report recommends that the DMA focuses on the following objectives:
1. Promote competition, market contestability and innovation by complementing (not substituting) competition law when it’s either ineffective or unable to intervene.
2. Empower users by providing them with the relevant information, tools and incentives to make informed choices.
3. Ensure fairness in B2B relationships by protecting business users and partners against unfair practices.
4. Promote the Digital Single Market, ensuring that it is not fragmented by a growing volume of national rules that regulate large gatekeeper platforms (LGPs) differently.
This CERRE Digital paper recommends that the scope of the DMA covers all online platforms to be sufficiently flexible and future proof. It provides a systematic and precise definition of large gatekeeper platforms (LGPs) upon which specific prohibitions and obligations should be imposed. " |
