What can Member States do with the Digital Markets Act?

The Digital Markets Act (DMA) grants the Commission the sole power to regulate the behaviours of some large online platforms in Europe. Member States can still play a role in digital markets in complement to the DMA by enforcing European and national competition laws and assisting the Commission with the DMA. In response, several Member States, such as Germany, have already opened some antitrust investigations in complement to the DMA and proposed legislations to grant powers to their national competition authorities to help the Commission with the DMA. But the regulation imposes several limitations and obligations on Member States. The panel will explore what Member States can and cannot do considering the Court of Justice case laws and their economic implications.
