Le 4 avril 2019, la Commission Européenne (ci-après « la Commission ») a publié un rapport préparé par un panel de trois académiciens sur le thème de la politique de concurrence à l'ère du numérique (ci-après « le Rapport »). Ce Rapport a pour ambition d'analyser les possibles adaptations du droit de la concurrence à l'ère du numérique afin de garantir l'innovation en faveur des consommateurs.

Lors de sa remise, Margrethe Vestager, commissaire européenne à la concurrence a déclaré que « la concurrence peut donc être fragile en cette ère numérique. Les occasions de défier des entreprises puissantes peuvent être rares. Les autorités doivent être particulièrement vigilantes, afin de s'assurer que ces entreprises n'abusent pas de leur pouvoir pour fermer des opportunités aux innovateurs au détriment des consommateurs »1.
