Brasil, rumo ao ("DMA") gol!

It was a real pleasure yesterday to share some reflections on the European experience with the Digital Markets Act across the Atlantic. You can watch the recording here.

We spoke candidly: about what seems to be working, about what remains difficult, and about what, in hindsight, might have been done differently. These are not easy conversations, but they are necessary ones.

What stood out, above all, was the seriousness and clarity of purpose shown by our Brazilian counterparts. There’s no doubt: they are approaching the challenge of platform regulation with a level of determination that is both impressive and encouraging. It’s not just about legal design or enforcement mechanics: it’s about political will. And in Brazil, that will is clearly there. 

This isn’t Brazil against Europe (or Italy ;-)): it’s one match, one team.
And the stakes couldn’t be higher.
