However, digitisation has also been associated with the ability of certain players to act as gatekeepers, with the power to impose unfair terms on dependent businesses to limit the scope for dynamic new entry. Available evidence suggests that existing measures are insufficient to address these problems, and that Europe would benefit from the introduction of EU-wide legislation to apply ex ante regulatory obligations on gatekeeper platforms. The impact of this measure could be maximised by combining clear requirements in the legislation with the ability to apply more tailored solutions in cases where it is not possible to make the designation of gatekeepers or design of associated obligations entirely self-executing.
