The Digital Market Act and Market Failures in Digital Platforms - A Brief Reflection on Its Relevance

Abstract

The proposed regulation launched by the European Commission on the gatekeepers' regime under the name of the Digital Market Act and the Digital Services Act represents an important change in the regulation and commitments of the platforms that initially control the market, or have that capacity, precisely because of their large size. Experience has shown that there are market failures that need to be monitored and corrected, and that there are special features in digital markets that require further reflection.
