EU seeks input on dominance abuse guidelines

The guidelines are expected to benefit consumers, businesses, national competition authorities, and courts.
Europe’s expanding data centre sector is colliding with climate goals as the EU prepares a 2026 sustainability ranking system despite major gaps in environmental reporting data.

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.
