Apéro du droit européen : “The Digital Markets Act”
On Thursday 12 May, René Repasi, member of the European Parliament, will speak on "The Digital Markets Act" from 18.30 to 20.00.
In March 2022, negotiators from the European Parliament and the Council reached a political agreement on the Commission's proposal to regulate large online platforms who act as "gatekeepers". This piece of EU legislation aims at curbing the market power of big online platforms, as a complement to traditional anti-trust enforcement tools.

Before becoming a member of the European Parliament, he was a Professor of Law at the Erasmus University of Rotterdam. He has also taught at the Universities of Leiden, Delf and Heidelberg. He has worked at the European Commission and at the Court of Justice of the EU (chambers of AG Kokott). He specialises in the law of the Economic and Monetary Union.
René Repasi holds a PhD from the University of Heidelberg. He studied law at the University of Heidelberg and Montpellier. He has published extensively on EU competition policy. He has published extensively on issues relating to the economic and financial governance of the EU, banking regulation, constitutional and institutional implications of the economic and monetary union.
