EU seeks input on dominance abuse guidelines

The guidelines are expected to benefit consumers, businesses, national competition authorities, and courts.
The European Commission says enforcing the Digital Markets Act is a constitutional duty, as legal challenges and US criticism test the EU’s digital competition framework.

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.
