EU competition law vs. sector regulation in shaping the Digital Single Market

The European University Institute (EUI) and Bird & Bird LLP will organise a Brussels Seminar on ‘EU competition law vs. sector regulation in shaping the Digital Single Market - Back to the Future?’ on 28 June 2018.

The seminar will gather academics, practitioners, officials from national governments and EU institutions, as well as industry representatives, to discuss the role of EU competition policy and sector-specific regulation in shaping the Digital Single Market (DSM) as in the past this interaction has been debated in the context of the liberalisation of network industries in Europe.

The seminar will look at two case studies: a) concerns expressed by regulators surrounding geo-blocking; and b) the revision of the Commission Guidelines on Significant Market Power (SMP) in electronic communications.
