Session three: Abuse of dominance – the Commission's revamp
Friday 6 September (1500 - 1630)
Description
In March 2023, the European Commission (the ‘Commission) published a Communication and Annex amending its 2008 guidance on enforcement priorities concerning exclusionary abuses. This came in conjunction with a call for evidence to seek feedback on the proposed introduction by the Commission of guidelines on exclusionary abuses of dominance. The Commission is seeking to adopt their new guidelines by the end of 2025. This panel will explore the concepts contained in the draft guidelines with a view to determining how they fit with the approach agencies around the world are taking towards enforcing against misuse of market power.
