Sharing my prelim analysis of the main points of law raised by last week's Google Shopping judgment of @EUCourtPress Not my final word.

The General Court approached the case as in Intel v EC, trying to clarify the law

The Court buried to the ground the theory of a transversal Bronner threshold in abuse cases.

I mean every hyperbolic word here => latest convo of @LeConcurrential w/ Bill Kovacic is gold mine of antitrust wisdom leconcurrentialiste.com/a-conversation… 1/n

The requirements of practice makes antitrust laws converge toward rebuttable presumptions, quasi rules, and structured standards 2/n

Use of per se rules moves away discussion from economic analytics => legal classification issues, as seen in early Sherman Act cases. Equally facts intensive, and costly for plaintiffs 3/n

Long thread w/ color commentary of IMCO amendments to draft #DMA. I focus on what struck eye, leaving aside the small stuff 1/n

Tightening of clause allowing presumptive gatekeeper to escape designation => “exceptional circumstances” and “compelling” evidence 2/n

National authorities also to receive information on gatekeepers acquisitions 3/n

Quick thread on the Opinion of the AG in Deutsche Telekom and Slovak Telekom (DT & ST) v Commission (C-152 and 165/19 P) curia.europa.eu/juris/document… For antitrust geeks only 1/n

The Opinion asks whether a firm w/o an indispensable infrastructure can nonetheless abuse a dominant position by way of margin squeeze. 2/n

To this normative question, the AG answers positively. I beg to differ. Note: my disagreement is with the AG’s reasoning, not about the outcome of this case or others. 3/n

@randypicker discussion of static monopolization in #Fortnite v Apple displays substantial parallels with the problems faced by antitrust towards tacit collusion 1/n

https://twitter.com/randypicker/status/1295007314727120897

That is: should antitrust law deem unlawful business coordination without an explicit act of collusion? 2/n

Or put differently, should antitrust law affirm liability towards firms that have not sinned by commission, but which occupy a market that has evolved into a monopoly or tight oligopoly? 3/n
