Annemie Van de Vliet and Frank Wijckmans give session on Article 102 TFEU at Informa Connect Summer School at Cambridge University

6/08/2024

They were delighted to meet a highly motivated and international group of practitioners. They were among the first to be guided through the new EU draft guidelines on exclusionary abuses. The draft was published by the European Commission late last week. Discover some key take-aways below.

  • While market shares may be helpful, a proper finding of dominance requires a much more detailed assessment.
  • Enforcement focuses much more on exclusionary as opposed to exploitative abuses.
  • The draft guidelines offer a valuable overview of the legal tests governing the various types of abuses. 
  • The digital markets have caused new types of abuses, such as self-preferencing and forced free riding, to appear.
  • Towercast, Super League and ISU are among the most notable recent judgments regarding Article 102 TFEU.
