“Platform Integration”: Preconditions for the Transfer to a Common Model of Antitrust Regulation of Digital Markets in the EAEU

EDN: NTWMHI

Abstract

   The article summarizes the results of the first stage of formation of common approaches used in the study of digital markets and activities of digital (electronic) platforms in the Eurasian Economic Union (EAEU). It reflects national and supranational (within the framework of the activities of the Eurasian Economic Commission) practices of competition assessment, legal regulation and law enforcement in digital markets. The indicators of the development of the e-commerce sector in the world, BRICS countries and the EAEU are analyzed, reflecting the significant role of the platform economy in ensuring economic growth and technological development. A number of proposals are formulated regarding further possible steps aimed at harmonized regulation of digital markets in the EAEU.
