The draft Guidelines aim at reflecting the EU courts’ case law on exclusionary abuses and the Commission’s enforcement practice developed in line with it. \nThe objectives of the initiative are (1) to provide more clarity to stakeholders on how to apply Article 102 TFEU; (2) to facilitate self-assessment and increase predictability; and (3) to promote a workable effects-based approach to the enforcement of Article 102 TFEU. \nIn this context\, DG Competition is organizing an interactive stakeholder workshop to gather views on different key aspects of the draft Guidelines and discuss the practical implications of their application. Participants will be divided into groups to discuss various topics in eight breakout sessions. The results will be presented and discussed in two plenary sessions.  \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n Miroslava Marinova\n Our Senior Fellow Miroslava Marinova is invited to speak at the European Commission’s Stakeholder Workshop to share her views on the reform of Article 102 TFEU.  \n \n \n \n Workshop Agenda URL:https://competitioninnovationlab.ai/event/stakeholder-workshop-draft-article-102-tfeu-guidelines-on-exclusionary-abuses/ LOCATION:University Student Center\, 800 21st Street\, NW\, Room 405\, NW\, 20052\, United States ATTACH;FMTTYPE=image/jpeg:https://competitioninnovationlab.ai/wp-content/uploads/2026/01/workshop.jpg END:VEVENT BEGIN:VEVENT DTSTART;TZID=UTC:20250218T100000 DTEND;TZID=UTC:20250218T110000 DTSTAMP:20260421T101211 CREATED:20260106T064135Z LAST-MODIFIED:20260113T182851Z UID:3388-1739872800-1739876400@competitioninnovationlab.ai SUMMARY:Regulating Digital Platforms in Brazil: Where We Are DESCRIPTION:In light of the recent Ministry of Justice report exploring a potential Digital Markets Act (DMA)-like framework for Brazil\, the regulatory landscape for digital platforms is at a critical juncture. This panel will delve into the challenges and opportunities of implementing such regulations\, focusing on competition\, innovation\, and consumer protection in the digital economy. \nKey topics of discussion will include: \n\nThe current state of platform regulation in Brazil and lessons from global frameworks like the EU’s DMA and the US policy debates.\nThe economic and legal implications of introducing ex-ante obligations for dominant platforms.\nHow such regulations could foster innovation while maintaining a competitive marketplace.\nPerspectives from policymakers\, legal experts\, and industry leaders on Brazil’s path toward a robust digital competition policy.

As new challenges emerge\, driven by digitalization\, sustainable development\, and the global economic downturn\, the relationship between these policies warrants a thorough review. The Draghi Report calls for a reassessment of competition policy enforcement in light of industrial policy imperatives. \nThis session will explore how competition and industrial policies intersect\, identifying both synergies and tensions in today’s evolving economic landscape. The discussion will highlight the growing need for cooperation between these two policy areas and offer policy recommendations to enhance their productive interaction.
