About

On 16 November, CERRE hosted two private workshops on the  upcoming Digital Markets Act (DMA), during which CERRE Academic Co-Director, Alexandre de Streel, and CERRE Research Fellow, Richard Feasey, presented our think tank’s recommendations.

In the first workshop, Ricardo Castanheira (Permanent Representation of Portugal to the European Union) commented on CERRE’s policy recommendations, after which a structured discussion took place between Ricardo Castanheira, Alexandre de Streel, Richard Feasey, Permanent Representatives from various Member States and CERRE Members in attendance.

In the second workshop, MEP Alex Agius Saliba (S&D, Malta) commented on CERRE’s policy recommendations, after which a discussion took place between MEP Alex Agius Saliba, Alexandre de Streel, Richard Feasey, officials from the European Parliament and CERRE members.

Both discussions were moderated by CERRE Tech, Media, Telecom Director, Lara Natale.

These workshops provided an excellent opportunity for CERRE academics and members to debate the DMA with key policy makers and national representatives, ahead of the publication of the DMA by the European Commission planned before the end of 2020.
