I procedimenti istruttori per possibili abusi di posizione dominante, avviati o chiusi dall’AGCM nell’anno 2021, si pongono in linea di massima in continuità con la prassi degli anni precedenti, sia sul piano quantitativo sia sul piano qualitativo dell’attività di enforcement. Nondimeno, l’anno 2021 fa registrare alcuni dati “originali” riguardo ai procedimenti conclusi, quali la spiccata attenzione ai c.d. mercati digitali o il rilievo assunto dall’art. 11, para. 6, del reg. (CE) 1/2003. Inoltre, il 2021 si connota per un atteggiamento dell’Autorità decisamente interventista e repressivo, che trova riscontro nel significativo ricorso all’imposizione di obblighi comportamentali nonché nell’irrogazione di sanzioni particolarmente elevate (quale la sanzione “record” irrogata ad Amazon).

Abstract
The investigations for alleged abuses of dominance, opened or closed by the Italian Competition Authority in 2021, are in principle aligned to the recent practice, both from a quantitative and a qualitative perspective of the enforcement activity. Nevertheless, year 2021 is worth mentioning for certain quite original trends with regards to the closed investigations, namely a standing out interest for digital markets or the relevance acquired by the potential application of Article 11, para. 6, of Regulation (EC) no. 1/2003. Furthermore, year 2021 is characterised for a strongly interventionist and repressive approach by the Authority. This is confirmed by the significant recourse to the imposition of behavioural remedies as well as to the imposition of substantially higher fines (such as the “record” one inflicted on Amazon).File | Dimensione | Formato | |
