Abstract

Digital economy is deeply and irreversibly changing markets’ structures and global competitiveness. This paper deals with the suggested adoption of an additional legal framework as a supplement of EU competition law in digital markets. A co-regulatory and legally binding code of competitive conduct will be signed by undertakings that have a Strategic Market Status. A new-born Digital Markets Unit at the Directorate-General for Competition of the Commission will be in charge of the elaboration and enforcement of the code, together with undertakings having a Strategic Market Status and relevant stakeholders of the industry. The code will target behaviours considered to be especially harmful for the consumers in digital markets such as self-preferencing practices by vertically integrated companies.
