The Digital Markets Act (DMA) is an ex ante regulation of large digital platforms that act as gatekeepers. It not only contains many new rules for gatekeepers but also has a direct impact on all users of these platforms.
The book
The Practitioner’s Guide is an easy-to-use introduction to this highly complex subject. It makes the new law accessible and offers answers to the most important questions, including:
• How are gatekeepers identified?
• What are the specific duties of conduct imposed on gatekeepers?
• What powers do the EU Commission and national authorities have over gatekeepers?
• To what extent do business users (especially in manufacturing, retail, advertising, publishing and software or app development) benefit from the new rules?
• How can users enforce their new rights?
• What rights do third parties have before public authorities and national courts?
• What procedural issues need to be considered?
Questions on private enforcement of the DMA are answered from the perspective of different EU jurisdictions.

In-house counsel, companies, lawyers, competition authorities, supervisory authorities, business and consumer associations, research institutions, non-governmental organisations, European institutions.
