In the wake of a profound shift in the regulation of the digital economy, the role played by regulatory networks in implementing Europe’s new rules is increasingly important. To facilitate an open discussion between the heads of relevant regulatory networks, CERRE will bring together Michel Van Bellinghen, Chair of the Body of European Regulators for Electronic Communications (BEREC), Tobias Schmid, Chair of the European Regulators Group for Audiovisual Media Services (ERGA), and Inge Bernaerts, Director for Policy and Strategy at DG Competition.
Moderated by CERRE Director General, Bruno Liebhaberg and CERRE Academic Co-Director Alexandre de Streel, this high-level panel will address the challenges faced by the regulatory authorities within these networks. The panellists will address the development of cooperation between members and the networks themselves, the extent to which silos can – and have – been broken down between different regulators, and how regulators engage with stakeholders, including the organisations they regulate. Panellists will also touch on the increasing trend towards centralised enforcement and oversight in recent legislative instruments.
The event will include an audience Q&A session, opening the floor to participants for further discussion.
This webinar is open to CERRE members only, and registration is required. If you’re interested in joining the CERRE community, contact us at jms@cerre.eu.
