Abstract
Digitalna tržišta posljednjih su godina izrasla u jednu od najistaknutijih područja rasprave i analize europskog prava tržišnog natjecanja i europskog prava zaštite podataka. Takav interes za digitalna tržišta nije slučajnost, već rezultat brzog rasta nekolicine velikih poduzeća kojima, zbog njihove dominacije na tržištu, praktički nije moguće konkurirati. Kako bi riješila navedenu problematiku, Komisija je donijela Akt o digitalnim tržištima, revolucionarno rješenje prava tržišnog natjecanja i zaštite podataka koje, kako se Komisija nada, treba pomoći europskom zakonodavstvu održati korak s velikim poduzećima, takozvanim ‘nadzornicima pristupa’ – zbog njihove neprijeporne sposobnosti da svojim konkurentima priječe ulazak na mjerodavno tržište i ostala povezana tržišta. Nova je Uredba hvaljena od mnogih, ali je jednako tako probudila i brojne kritičare njenih odredbi. U namjeri da pokuša razjasniti novine koje Akt o digitalnim tržištima uvodi, njene prednosti i nedostatke, rad daje sistematičan pregled zakonodavnog okvira Uredbe i zaključak o potencijalnoj sposobnosti iste da se suoči s problematikom ograničavanja tržišnog natjecanja i nepoštene prakse nadzornika pristupa u digitalnim tržištima. Zaključak rada je kako Akt o digitalnim tržištima, iako uvodi brojne pogodnosti za krajnje korisnike, nije bez kritika. Posebice jer je pravni temelj akta, mogućnost provedbe i učinka odredaba o zaštiti podataka istog, u konačnici neizvjesno. Zaključak rada, izveden iz stajališta brojnih pravnih stručnjaka tržišnog natjecanja, jest da je prerano ustvrditi uvodi li Akt o digitalnim tržištima rješenja koja će omogućiti rješavanje problematike ograničavanja tržišnog natjecanja i nepoštene prakse nadzornika pristupa u digitalnim tržištima.
Abstract (english)
Digital markets have become one of the most prominently analysed and debated areas of the European competition law and the European data protection law in recent years, not by chance, but as a result of the rapid market power growth of a few large undertakings which are practically uncontestable in their dominance. To address these issues, the Commission has adopted the Digital Markets Act, a groundbreaking piece of competition and data protection legislation which the Commission hopes will help the European regulators keep pace with the large undertakings, referred to as the ‘gatekeepers’ – due to their uncontestable ability to bar their competitors from entering their market and other linked markets. This new Regulation has received much praise, but also much ink has been spilled criticising its provisions. To help understand what the Digital Markets Act ‘brings to the table’, what its benefits and downsides are, this paper overviews the legislation and gives its conclusion on the potential capacity for the Regulation to deal with the aforementioned contestability and fairness issues within the digital markets. The paper concludes how the Digital Markets Act, while providing many new benefits to the end users, is not without critique, especially as its legal basis, ability to be properly enforced, and impact of its data protection provisions, is uncertain. Ultimately, as the paper deducts from various different legal authors’ viewpoints, it is too early to tell if this act offers additional benefits and helps resolve fairness and contestability issues in the digital markets.
