SUMMARY:Data Protection\, Competition and Consumer Law Interplay in a Data-Driven Economy: Evidence from Ukraine and Norway
DESCRIPTION:This seminar seeks to foster critical discussion among scholars\, practitioners and regulatory experts on the legal and institutional frameworks governing digital markets\, with the aim of gaining insights from Norway. Speakers from Ukraine will address the challenges of war for the data-driven economy and the impact of data protection and competition law. This will be followed by a round of reflections from a Norwegian perspective. \nPROGRAMME\nWar and the Data-Driven Economy: Challenges and Solutions \nDr. Liudmyla Petrenko \n\nProfessor\, Department of Business Economics and Entrepreneurship\, Kyiv National Economic University after Vadym Hetman (KNEU); Visiting scholar at the Max Planck Institute for Innovation and Competition (Munich\, Germany)\, 2022-2025\n\n \nThe presentation examines how Ukrainian digital platforms have strategically leveraged user data\, regulatory frameworks\, and innovative governance models to drive business growth and resilience in wartime conditions. Drawing on recent trends: The e-commerce market rose to nearly $4 billion in 2024\, marking a ~30% YoY increase\, driven by digital payments\, mobile commerce\, and omnichannel approaches. The IT and fintech sector\, contributing almost 5% to GDP\, reached $8 billion in revenue in 2023\, underscoring the sector’s economic significance. The analysis emphasizes how digital technologies facilitated economic continuity\, enabling remote work\, sustaining export revenues\, and supporting domestic consumption through innovative online platforms. Additionally\, it addresses significant challenges\, such as infrastructure damage\, human capital loss\, and cybersecurity threats\, detailing Ukraine’s adaptive strategies including cloud migration\, international collaboration\, and enhanced digital governance. The study concludes by reflecting on how the crisis has accelerated digital transformation\, creating lasting structural changes and global integration opportunities vital for Ukraine’s post-war economic recovery. \nData Protection and Competition Law: Cross-Regulatory Solutions for Ukraine \nDr. Nataliia Mazaraki \n\nChair of the International\, civil and commercial law department\, State University of Trade and Economics\, Visiting scholar at the Max Planck Institute for Innovation and Competition (Munich\, Germany)\, 2022-2025\n\n \nThe analysis identifies opportunities for cross-regulatory cooperation between Ukraine’s competition authority and data protection agencies\, suggesting integrated regulatory approaches to effectively manage digital market power and safeguard personal data—essential components of Ukraine’s digital transformation and European integration. The research highlights cases and key regulatory trends in Ukrainian digital markets and data governance: (1) BlaBlaCar antitrust case (2025) – the Antimonopoly Committee of Ukraine (AMCU) fined the local operator approximately ₴424\,000 for failing to provide requested competition information\, marking the first enforcement action in the online P2P mobility sector and signaling broader scrutiny of digital platforms; (2) Kyiv Digital vs. MIA platform bias (2025) – AMCU issued formal recommendations to prevent state-led favoritism toward the MIA’s driving simulator app over private competitors\, reinforcing the application of competition rules to government-backed platforms. Legal and market trends illustrate a dynamic shift\, as Ukraine’s legal system actively shapes the governance of digital platforms by embedding competition and data protection principles into its digital economy framework: (а) Expanding AMCU enforcement – In 2024\, the AMCU handled 312 information-related cases in digital markets\, signaling a shift from traditional cartel oversight toward platform-centric regulation; (b) GDPR-aligned reforms – Draft Law № 8153 (2022) introduces new rights\, breach notification requirements\, and expanded definitions\, deepening alignment with EU standards; (с) Digital public law innovation – Ukraine enacted laws on electronic documents and e-justice\, supported by the Diia platform\, enabling paperless courts and digital state services even during wartime; (d) Platform strategy meets legal control – Both state and private platforms are increasingly integrating AI-driven operations\, privacy-by-design principles\, and anti-bias compliance measures in response to AMCU enforcement and GDPR-style regulations. \nShort comment from the NorwegianCompetition Authority (Konkurransetilsynet) \nRound table discussion \n\nModerated by Liliia Oprysk\n\nDate: 21 August 2025 \nTime: 10.00-12.00 \nVenue: Library at the Faculty of Law\, University of Bergen \nRegistration HERE \nThe seminar will not be streamed

SUMMARY:Finn/Nettbil saken: Lærdommer fra Høyesteretts dom
DESCRIPTION:I november 2020 forbød Konkurransetilsynet Schibsteds oppkjøp av Nettbil\, basert på at det ville medføre en betydelig begrensning i effektiv konkurranse i markedet. Konkurranseklagenemnda ga i mai 2021 Konkurransetilsynet medhold. Partene anket til Gulating lagmannsrett\, og de fikk i mars 2022 medhold. Staten anket saken inn for Høyesterett\, og Høyesterett forkastet i februar 2023 anken. Det var hovedsakelig basert på at Finn og Nettbils produkter ikke konkurrerte med hverandre. \nI dette seminaret ønsker vi å diskutere Finn/Nettbil saken\, og hvilke implikasjoner Høyesteretts dom får for fremtidige saker om foretakssammenslutninger. For å belyse det både fra et juridisk og økonomisk ståsted\, har vi følgende to innledere: \n\nProfessor Erling Hjelmeng\, Institutt for Privatrett\, Universitetet i Oslo\nProfessor Frode Steen\, Institutt for samfunnsøkonomi\, Norges Handelshøyskole\n\nDet vil bli satt av god tid til spørsmål og innlegg fra salen. \nSeminaret vil bli holdt: \n\nAuditorium 4\, Juridisk Fakultet\, Universitetet i Bergen\nTirsdag 11. april kl 14.15-15.45\n\nSeminaret vil også bli strømmet. Opptaket kan sees her. Lysbildene fra innleggene er vedlagt nedenfor. \nErling Hjelmeng \, Frode Steen

SUMMARY:Market investigation tool in Norway?
DESCRIPTION:Market investigation tool in Norway?\n \nIn recent years\, there has been an ongoing debate about new competition law tools that could complement existing competition law tools. In the EU both the Digital Markets Act (DMA) and the Digital Services Act (DSA) have been heavily debated. At the same time there are countries such as Iceland and United Kingdom that already for many years have had a competition tool called “market investigation”. This is a tool that makes it possible to investigate a particular industry\, and propose measures to correct any adverse effect on competition even if there is no established violation of the competition rules. Earlier this year\, the Norwegian Ministry for Industry and Fisheries proposed that the Norwegian Competition Authority should be given the authority to perform market investigations\, similar to the CMA’s model. So far such a new competition tool has not been implemented. The seminar invites to a discussion on the pros and cons of such a new competition tool. To do this\, we have three distinguished speakers: \n\nSenior Director Daniel Gordon\, Competition & Markets Authority\, United Kingdom\nSenior Advisor Hans-Petter Håvås Hanson\, Norwegian Competition Authority\nPartner Kristin Hjelmaas Valla\, Kvale law firm\n\nDaniel Gordon will explain the market investigation tool that has been used in the UK for many years\, while Hans-Petter Håvås Hanson will discuss the main reasons for introducing such a competition tool in Norway. Kristin Hjelmaas Valla will discuss such a competition tool seen from the business society’s perspective. \n\nWhen: Friday October 21\, 10-12 am\nWhere: Auditorium 3\, Faculty of Law\, University of Bergen\n\nThe seminar will also be streamed HERE.

SUMMARY:Konferanse: Offentlig oppgavetyveri?
DESCRIPTION:Skviser staten og kommuner private bedrifter fra markedet ved å kryssubsidiere sin økonomiske virksomhet\, eller prøver de bare å løse sine oppgaver på best mulig måte? Kan tiltakene som er foreslått av arbeidsgruppen gi et dårligere tilbud til innbyggere eller skal de sikre at det private kan konkurrere på like vilkår? Fredag 7 september har vi gleden av å ivitere til konferansen “Offentlig opgpavetyveri?”\, en konferanse om like konkurransevilkår mellom offentlig og privat virksomhet fra et norsk og dansk perspektiv. \nPostdoktor Malgorzata Cyndecka innleder om den norske rapporten. Cyndecka var medlem av den norske arbeidsgruppen bak rapporten “Like konkurransevilkår for offentlige og private aktører”. Professor Karsten Naundrup Olesen fra København Universitet vil redegjøre for diskusjonen om like konkurransevilkår i Danmark. Den norske rapporten vil diskuteres av representanter for KS\, Virke og Konkurransetilsynet. \nTid: Fredag 7. september\, kl 9.00 – 13.00\nSted: Auditorium 4\, Det juridiske fakultet\, UiB \nInnledere: \n\nMalgorzata Cyndecka\nPostdoktor\, Det juridiske fakultet\, UiB\, og BECCLE\nKarsten Naundrup Olesen\nProfessor\, Det Juridiske Fakultet\, Københavns Universitet\n\nPresentasjoner: \n\nMalgorzata Cyndecka: ‘Offentlig oppgavetyveri – Om like konkurransevilkår mellom offentlig of privat virksomhet fra et norsk og dansk perspektiv’\nJan Gaute Sannearnes: ‘På like vilkår – et samfunnsøkonomisk perspektiv’\nKarsten Naundrup Olesen: ‘Offentlig markedsaktivitet i Danmark – debatten og reglerne’\nBeatrice Dankertsen Hennyng: ‘Like konkurransevilkår for offentlige og private aktører – konsekvenser for kommunesektoren’\n\nProgram \n\nProgram “offentlig oppgavetyveri” 7. sept 2018\n\nMateriale: \n\nNy rapport om like konkurransevilkår\n\nPåmelding:\nKonferansen gratis og åpen for alle. Påmelding per epost til Kristian Wederhus innen 4. september.\nFelles søknad om godkjenning av etterutdanning for advokater kan sendes i etterkant av seminaret. \n  \nBakgrunn:\nSommeren 2016 satte den norske regjeringen ned arbeidsgruppen «På like vilkår»\, som skulle foreslå tiltak som kan styrke konkurransen mellom det offentlige og det private. Bakgrunnen for opprettelsen av arbeidsgruppen var at EFTAs overvåkningsorgan (ESA) mener at det offentliges skattefritak og konkursimmunitet bryter med EU/EØS-regler om offentlig støtte når det offentlige driver «økonomisk aktivitet» i konkurranse med private markedsaktører. \nRapporten «Like konkurransevilkår for offentlige og private aktører» ble overlevert Nærings- og fiskeridepartementet 23. januar 2018. I rapporten vurderte arbeidsgruppen to løsninger for å tilpasse seg reglene om statsstøtte: Et regnskapsmessig skille mellom økonomisk og ikke-økonomisk aktivitet og utskilling av økonomisk aktivitet. \nDet offentliges økonomiske aktivitet er uproblematisk så lenge staten eller kommuner driver på markedsmessige vilkår i henhold til det såkalte markedsaktørprinsippet (MEOP). MEOP innebærer at det offentlige handler på samme måte som en sammenlignbar\, rasjonell og profittorientert markedsaktør ville ha gjort under lignende omstendigheter. Arbeidsgruppen flertall foreslår å innføre et nasjonalt tilsynsorgan\, lagt til Konkurransetilsynet\, som skal overvåke etterlevelsen av det såkalte markedsaktørprinsippet. \nRapporten ble sendt på høring før regjeringen skal ta stilling til ESAs foreløpige konklusjonen om at det offentliges skattefritak og konkursimmunitet utgjør ulovlig statsstøtte. Det er mye som står på spill både for det offentlige\, som kan bli utsatt for en omfattende omorganisering\, og det private\, som forventer konkurranse på like vilkår. \nKonkurransen mellom det private og det offentlige er også et tema i Danmark\, hvor nasjonale regler om offentlig støtte er en del den danske konkurranseloven. Den danske regjeringen satte ned en tilsvarende arbeidsgruppe for å se nærmere på det som gjerne beskrives som «offentligt opgavetyveri». Rapporten skal være klar om noen uker. \nMalgorzata CyndeckaPostdocDet juridiske Fakultet\, UiB\, og BECCLEKarsten Naundrup  OlesenProfessorDet Juridiske Fakultet\, Københavns Universitet\nOpptak:
