New Digital Markets Act
A Practitioner's Guide
The Digital Markets Act (DMA) regulates large digital platforms acting as gatekeepers, impacting all users of these platforms. This guide serves as an accessible introduction to the complex subject of the DMA, addressing key questions such as the identification of gatekeepers, their specific duties, and the powers held by the EU Commission and national authorities. It explores how business users in sectors like manufacturing, retail, and advertising can benefit from the new rules, and outlines how users can enforce their rights, as well as the rights of third parties before public authorities and courts. The guide also discusses procedural issues and private enforcement from various EU jurisdictions. Target audiences include in-house counsel, companies, lawyers, competition and supervisory authorities, business and consumer associations, research institutions, NGOs, and European institutions. Edited by experienced lawyers Dr. Jens Peter Schmidt and Dr. Fabian Hübener, the guide features contributions from a diverse team of experts in law and academia across Europe, ensuring a high level of professional expertise.
