| Popis: | A divide between legal text and economic reality characterizes the Digital Markets Act (DMA): whilst in the competition policy discourse ecosystems take a central role, they are absent in the legal text of the DMA. This leads to frictions and legal uncertainty in the DMA’s application as can been seen in the disparate use of ecosystem-related arguments in the Commission’s designation decisions. In this situation, the General Court brought some clarity in its ByteDance judgement by providing an ecosystem definition and clarifying some points with regard to which and how ecosystem-related arguments can be used in designation proceedings and what the respective standard of proof is. Nonetheless, many issue remain unresolved, letting us to conclude with a tentative outlook on things to come. |
