In this episode of The Brussels Beat, The Capitol Forum Europe Executive Editor Javier Espinoza speaks with Andreas Mundt, President of Germany’s competition authority, the Bundeskartellamt.
Mundt discusses why national competition authorities should have a greater role in enforcing the EU’s Digital Markets Act, how Germany’s own digital competition rules interact with the DMA, and the importance of coordination between national regulators and the European Commission.
The conversation also covers recent scrutiny of Apple and Amazon, the challenges artificial intelligence poses for digital markets, and whether Europe is striking the right balance between effective regulation and innovation.
The Brussels Beat brings together policymakers, regulators, industry leaders, and other key voices shaping competition, technology, and digital policy in Europe.
