Large online platforms pose similar or very similar competition issues worldwide. In response, legislators and competition authorities propose regulations to tackle them. While they address the same problems, the content of each regulation is different. As a result, increasing compliance costs for businesses and potential inconsistencies are likely to arise. G7 countries have called for years for international cooperation for competition in digital markets, but without actionable proposals. How can we ensure it? Our panellists will give an overview of the main regulation in each country and proposals to ensure international cooperation.
