Really looking forward to discussing the topic of regulatory governance at the CCP conference next week. It's a critical issue in a world of new regulations (particularly in the digital space with the DMA and - soon - the DMU).

Today, DG Competition participated in the 28th Annual Competition Conference organised by the International Bar Association ⬇ 🗣 Director-General Olivier Guersent joined the “Enforcers Roundtable” session alongside leading agency heads, including Benoît Coeuré, John Elias, and Athanasia Gavala, in a discussion moderated by Frédéric Jenny from the OECD - OCDE. 🤝 The panel explored the latest developments in competition policy, the key priorities for today, and the strategic focus areas for the future. Discussions centred as well on the coordination of efforts and the future of international cooperation among global antitrust agencies. 👩💻 Olivier Guersent took the opportunity to highlight DG COMP's ongoing initiatives, particularly in the realm of competition and artificial intelligence.   📍 EU Competition policy plays a pivotal role in ensuring that AI-driven markets remain competitive and innovation-driven, while simultaneously providing consumers and businesses with a wide choice of AI solutions. Today's event was also an opportunity to stress DG Competition's dual role 1️⃣ To enforce competition rules, preserving the integrity of the Single Market and foster its development 2️⃣ To support EU industrial policies Driving better living standards for all Europeans and giving all European businesses fair chances to succeed. 🌐These fora are invaluable in fostering dialogue, enhancing cooperation, and shaping the future of global competition policy. Through collaborative efforts, we can ensure fair competition and innovation thrive in an increasingly complex global economy.

🎓 MI3 Conference 2024 - Research Deep Dive 🔍 At this year's conference, four leading academics will present their research into the most important topics facing capital markets. First to present will be Bart Zhou Yueshen, outlining his work in anticompetitive price referencing. His research looks at how: - Off-exchange trades often use on-exchange prices as references, which reduces competition among market makers on exchanges and raises trading costs for investors, while ensuring best execution. - This referencing allows market makers to profit from off-exchange trades, leading to market fragmentation and reinforcing illiquidity, even with increased competition and regulatory interventions like order-by-order auctions. - Theoretical modelling shows that as market makers compete less on exchanges due to referencing, liquidity decreases, raising trading costs for investors and worsening overall market liquidity. After the presentation, discussant Sabrina Buti will delve into the detail and question the conclusions.

Strategic relationships between the European Union and United States are not only important for economic success, but also for the development of emerging technologies like AI, quantum computing, and 6G.   Ahead of the EU-US Trade and Technology Council meeting in Belgium, this is a strong message from the European Round Table for Industry - ERT. More work can be done to strengthen the transatlantic trade of goods and services, collaborate on technology research, and drive the development of digital skills.
