The Case Manager of the European Commission’s antitrust cases against Google (Google Shopping and Google Android) will outline the main findings of the two prohibition Decisions that the Commission has adopted. At a time when there is a keen debate about the role and relevance of antitrust in hi-tech markets, he will examine what broader lessons can be drawn from the two cases for antitrust enforcement in this area.
