Summary: Policy-makers are right to question why some large digital platforms appear to have become entrenched and whether a lack of competition is causing unfair outcomes for European businesses. However, not all digital markets suffer from the same competition problems and require the same rules to address these problems. To address the problem the Commission has identified, and with the approach the Commission proposes, the Commission needs to ensure only genuinely entrenched platforms are regulated as gatekeepers. If it does not, it risks harming investment and innovation, without generating benefits for European businesses and consumers. |
