Description

This panel will explore issues arising in the online distribution of goods and digital content around the world. The panel will discuss issues such as territorial restraints (export bans and exclusive distribution with a focus on cross-regional issues, eg, a US website not selling to Australian consumers), geoblocking (including the European Commission’s e-commerce enquiry and initiatives in this area) and resale price maintenance (minimum advertised prices, platforms and pricing, sales on app stores). The panel will begin with a keynote speech by Cecilio Madero Villarejo, Deputy Director-General for Antitrust at the Directorate-General Competition of the European Commission, on the European Commission's recent e-commerce inquiry report.
