EU seeks input on dominance abuse guidelines

The guidelines are expected to benefit consumers, businesses, national competition authorities, and courts.
The European Commission has launched the 2030 Consumer Agenda to protect shoppers, ensure fair competition and promote sustainability across the EU while adapting to rising costs and online markets.

The European Commission has initiated a public consultation to gather feedback on draft guidelines addressing exclusionary abuses of dominance. These guidelines cover predatory pricing, margin squeeze, exclusive dealing, and refusal to supply.

According to the Commission, these guidelines aim to enhance legal certainty, benefiting consumers, businesses, national competition authorities, and courts.
