The Digital Markets Act (DMA), proposed by the European Commission in December 2020 and now under discussion in the European Parliament and Council, marks a new era for the regulation of online platforms in Europe, along with the Digital Services Act (DSA).
Drawing from CERRE’s recommendations for the DMA and DSA, released prior to the Commission proposal, and the same authors’ first assessment of the DMA, CERRE hosted a series of ‘rendez-vous’ events to discuss the two proposals in detail with industry, regulatory authorities, experts and policy makers.
To wrap up a series of valuable debates throughout the first quarter of 2021, CERRE will host a high-level discussion of the DMA on Tuesday 4 May, 16:00-17:30 CEST.
The event will kick off with two political conversations back-to-back, hosted by CERRE Director General Bruno Liebhaberg. The first with French Minister of State for the Digital Transition and Electronic Communications, Cédric O, and the second with Member of the European Parliament, Andreas Schwab.
There will also be a panel discussion between Dr. Cristina Caffarra and Professor Harry First, moderated by CERRE Tech, Media, Telecom & Mobility Director, Lara Natale. Professor Alexandre de Streel will then reflect on the discussions that emerged from CERRE’s ‘rendez-vous’ series and DMA recommendations.
This event is open to all and will be livestreamed on this page as well as the CERRE YouTube channel. Viewers will have the chance to ask questions via Slido during the event using the code #CERREDMA. Catch up on the four events earlier in the ‘rendez-vous’ series here.
