Description:
The Interaction between Enforcers of Competition Law, the DMA, and the GDPR
An Inquiry into the Coherence of Enforcement across Legal Domains Belle Beems Over the past decades, a complex 'puzzle' has materialised in the regulation of personal data markets, in which the competences of enforcers of various legal branches and different legal orders or jurisdictions increasingly overlap. This timely and deeply researched book assesses the interplay in this context of competition law, the DMA, and the GDPR at the European Union (EU) level and in the legal orders of the Netherlands and Germany, with a particular focus on the mechanisms that facilitate the interaction between different enforcers. Providing a full-scale coherence analysis of the relevant multi-layered frameworks, the author explores features such as the following:characteristics of personal data markets;
the enforcement of competition law, the DMA and the GDPR in the context of personal data markets, particularly emphasising the interplay between these legal fields;
rules of pre-emption and hierarchy of norms, as well as mechanisms for cooperation; and
the extent to which existing tools guarantee the coherent application of competition law, the DMA and the GDPR to personal data markets.
