IIC Australian Chapter Event | Regulating digital platforms: Should Australia follow the EU’s approach?

June 14, 2022

When: Tuesday, 12th July 2022
Time: 5:45pm – 7:00pm
Where:
Clayton Utz, Sydney

During March this year the European Parliament and Council reached agreement on the Digital Markets Act. This pioneering legislation, which will take effect in early 2023, aims to stimulate competition in digital markets by imposing stringent new requirements on so-called digital gatekeepers, regulating data collection and use, restricting unfair business terms and imposing fair, reasonable, and non-discriminatory-like obligations for the supply of certain services, amongst other rules.

Join the IIC’s Australian Chapter for Part 1 of a two-part series that explores the global and local consequences of regulation of digital markets and services.

In this session we hear directly from the European Commission about the Digital Markets Act’s development, purpose, enforcement issues and projected outcomes.

A panel discussion will also feature Australian industry representatives who will discuss whether Australia should follow Europe’s lead and what the ACCC might recommend to the new Australian Government following the completion of its current consultation on whether Australia needs new regulations to address competition and consumer protections in digital markets.


Keynote speaker:

Menno Cox

Head of Sector for global aspects of digital services and platforms

European Commission

Menno Cox is currently the Head of Sector for global aspects of digital services in DG CNECT at the European Commission, where he has been working on matters related to digital markets since he joined in 2015.

Prior to the Commission, Menno worked as a lawyer at an Dutch international law firm. He obtained a LLM degree in European Law from Leiden University.
