Well, the new UK Digital Markets Regime, the DMCCA was finally passed - by the skin of its teeth - in wash-up! 🧼 But - after all the fanfare and plaudits - will its promise to pre-empt market tipping points live up to expectations, or will it be - a wash-out? 🌊 Read this Global Competition Review article for some helpful steers on what the private practice bar thinks the CMA should focus on, and what your favourite ex-staffer of the CMA thinks the DMU should avoid! 😉 Namely, no more red tape for red tape's sake! ❌❌❌ "Meanwhile, Ronan Scanlan, of counsel at Arthur Cox in Dublin, said competition practitioners have raised concerns over the introduction of another “regulatory rulebook” in an “increasingly crowded field”. Encouragingly, amendments in the course of the legislative process placed a great deal of emphasis on proportionality, higher legal thresholds for intervention and the recognition of countervailing benefits, he said. But the appeals standard for substantive decisions remains that of judicial review, he noted. As such, it is critical that the CMA continues to publish clear guidance on its approach, he said. Given that the DMCCA will come into force in an increasingly crowded field, with the DMA already well established, it has never been more important to encourage international cooperation, minimise divergence and avoid unnecessary regulatory burdens, he said." A reminder to submit your responses to the CMA's consultation on its draft guidance by no later than 12 July 2024. Happy to share my own thoughts in draft if helpful - just drop me a line. #DMCCA #DigitalMarketRegulation #CMA #DMU #allpunsintended #GCR #timedoesnotalwaysfly
