RE: https://ec.social-network.europa.eu/@digitaleu/116686270844937755 The Tech Sovereignty Package was finally announced, including the proposal for a Cloud and AI Development Act (#CADA)! See the link on the new page of @digitaleu below.

The ERA Forum just published an article in which I review commitments and remedies in digital #antitrust and #DMA cases handled by the @EUCommission. The article lists the three main requirements that such remedies need to fulfill and proposes a typology covering unbundling, quasi-unbundling, remedies to end (quasi-)exclusivity, interoperability and access, and remedies for exploitative abuses.
