EU 디지털시장 규제 연구: 디지털시장법안과 관련사례를 중심으로

Abstract

As Big-tech expanded their IT market share with high-tech Technology, the harmful effects of monopolies began to appear, and governments, including the EU, began to Strengthen regulations on anti-trust such as market dominance and unfair competition. On the other hand, Big-tech are attempting to neutralize such regulations, and each country has come up with stronger regulatory measures. The EU Commission enacted the Digital Market Act to designate Big-tech as gatekeepers and impose specific and clear obligations on them to ensure a competitive and fair market competition environment in the digital platform sector. In addition, the Act secured a very effective and threatening normative system unlike the previous one, as it contained strong sanctions if such obligations were violated. Big-Tech's competition restrictions or unfair trade practices are not limited to Europe, and the same problems are at the center of controversy in Korea. We also recently revised the Tele-communications Business Act to sanction anti-competitive activities, but Big-tech are neutralizing the law through indirect expediency. At that level, legislative measures in the EU have great implications for our legislative response. On the other hand, it may be difficult to realize these policy only with the efforts of the EU or individual countries. As seen in the recent OECD discussion on digital taxes, a global cooperation system at the level of international organizations is also necessary.
