Martijn Snoep: Antitrust & Industrial Policy. Independence or Coordination. Champions. Latest Cases

Tools available to make markets work 
Chez Oles, here. 

Impressive, brave interview. 

 I'm perhaps a bit more positive about the long term impact of the DMA: it's going to evolve (that was the legislators' will), it creates new, important rights for end users and business users, and it is already influencing competition policy in a positive way. But it was never supposed to act in isolation (again, as foreseen by the legislators - see e.g. the HLG). Plenty of potential in many directions...

 

 

Listening to how the ACM has come to see itself as "market designer," I was reminded of this 2017 "no AI" generated image I used at a conference in Brazil (found back by chance while writing this).

EU Data Summit of the Konrad Adenauer Stiftung: Always learning something new and unexpected


Programme, here

Recordings:

Day 1 here.

Day 2 here

(Study mentioned during the "Level Playing Field in Accessing Vehicle Data?" here, BTW). 

Day 3 here


Second time that I participate in person, the other 4 editions I followed online (and I hereby gratefully acknowledge that I normally use the summit's recordings also as teaching material for my courses). 

Saffron Risotto - sophisticated dish
This time I participated in a transatlantic panel on antitrust (as a humble researcher and observer, I didn't have perhaps tons to say - apart from talking of saffron risotto - but the other two Panelists did - worth watching for their comments and the excellent questions by Samuel Stolton). But I also had a fun dual role as a moderator of a truly insightful DMA panel (first time I moderated a panel - and it showed - but, luckily, my great Panelists didn't need me at all!).
