Business Daily Meets: Margrethe Vestager

Published: Sept. 28, 2022, 7:30 a.m.

Margrethe Vestager is the European commissioner for competition.

Ms Vestager has been spearheading the landmark Digital Markets and Digital Services Acts aimed at regulating the global technology industry.

The new rules passed the European Parliament in July and will start to be implemented in the spring.

Victoria Craig sits down with Ms Vestager to ask about the commission\u2019s win against Google in one of Europe\u2019s biggest courts (which resulted in a record fine).

She also explains the importance of her hallmark legislative endeavours on global competition and fairness in the big tech space.

And she talks about how the EC\u2019s Important Projects of Common European Interest programme \u2013 which allows joint investments in riskier technologies \u2013 could help alleviate Europe\u2019s energy crisis.
