Title Protecting Personal Data and the Environment: Doctrinal Challenges for EU Competition Law in our Day and Age
Year 2022
Published European Law Review, 47.0, 5
Abstract At first sight, an approach to EU competition law that is more conscious about data protection as well as greener does not seem to share many traits. However, the insistence of both data and environmental protection on non-economic goals defies some of the more established logic of EU competition law. Against the background of the constitutional standing of data protection and environmental sustainability, the contribution analyses the challenges that the digitalisation and greening of the EU economy and society pose for competition law doctrine. It develops a taxonomy based on value alignment, value conflict, and value inclusion to better understand and frame the interaction between public policy goals, such as data protection and environmental sustainability, and competition law. Through its comparative angle, this analysis is the first to allow for insights into synergies that the twin transition to a green and digital economy can harness in the area of EU competition law.
