About

Across the world, regulators and policy makers are grappling with how to establish a competitive, safe and fair online environment that also safeguards users’ fundamental rights as citizens. As the European Commission is preparing the Digital Markets Act, CERRE presents its latest contribution to the debate with a book that brings together concrete recommendations to policy makers and regulators, drawn from our recent research.

Bruno Liebhaberg (CERRE Director General) debated with Professor Jan Krämer (CERRE Academic Co-Director and Professor at the University of Passau), Javier Espinoza (FT’s  EU Correspondent in Brussels), Anne Yvrande-Billon (Arcep’s Director of Economic, Market and Digital Affairs) and MEP Stéphanie Yon-Courtin (Vice-President of the European Parliament’s Committee on Economic and Monetary Affairs).
