The Digital Networks Act (DNA) will largely preserve the existing approach to significant market power (SMP) access regulation.
Under the Commission proposal, the DNA will:
- maintain the core of the existing SMP access regime, including the three-criteria test as the trigger for ex ante regulation
- recalibrate regulatory intervention by focusing more tightly on clearly identified market failures
- prescribe an escalation from lighter to more intrusive remedies
- introduce an EU-harmonised wholesale access product as the new default access remedy.
Our new report offers an in-depth analysis of the European Commission’s plans to adapt the SMP regulatory regime to a fibre-centric market.
