European Regulation of Large Digital Companies and the Inadequacy of Traditional Internal Market Tools
Abstract:
The adoption of various pieces of legislation by the European Union since 2022 is an attempt to regulate the market power of large digital companies as a separate power with a specific regime. The adoption of these ad hoc statutes acknowledges the shortcomings of traditional internal market law tools, namely, in the broad sense, freedom of movement and competition law. These shortcomings became apparent between the late 1990s and early 2020s in the legal framework that these texts are reforming.
However, these shortcomings are older and seem to date back to the emergence of the networked IT market within the internal market between the Treaty of Rome in 1957 and the entry into force of Economic and Monetary Union in 1999. This seminar will explore the various legal dimensions of these shortcomings in light of the emergence of the networked IT market.
