• Resumen

  • Despite the rationale for and the legal basis of the Digital Markets Act (DMA), the European legal framework risks becoming more fragmented in the post-DMA scenario because of overlaps with competition law. The article provides an analytical overview of the hypotheses in which the dual application of the DMA and antitrust rules may arise to demonstrate that full centralisation of DMA enforcement at EU level is needed to prevent further fragmentation and should have been accompanied by a reshaping of its scope, notably by limiting its application to a few large platform ecosystems.
