Tune in for an interview with Andreas Mundt, President of the German Bundeskartellamt (BKartA), and Chair of the International Competition Network, to hear about the BKartA’s competition enforcement in the digital space. Hear insights into:
- What’s next on the BKartA’s agenda under the so-called “Section 19a GWB” against online platforms designated as being of “paramount importance” for competition
- Which role remains for the BKartA in taming market power online now that the EU is rolling out the Digital Markets Act
- How Andreas counters criticism that concurrent antitrust enforcement by different agencies may create fragmentation and undermine legal certainty
- Whether he expects the proposed “11 GWB Novelle” amendments to national law – akin to the unsuccessful EU attempt at creating “New Competition Tool” – to succeed in Germany
