Abstract

JIPITEC 11 (2020) 2 - This report summarizes the conference “Verbraucherrechtstage 2019“ (“Consumer Law Days 2019“), organised by the German Federal Ministry of Justice and Consumer Protection on 12 and 13 December 2019 in Berlin. This year’s topic was data access with a special emphasis on consumer interests and public welfare. Leading legal and economic scholars as well as public servants and politicians came together to engage in fruitful discussions on designing the regulatory framework for data access in the digital economy. The conference was divided into four academic panels covering the wider economic and legal framework for data access, existing data access regimes and potential need for amendments. It additionally featured keynote speeches on current political developments and a concluding, policy-oriented panel discussion. An English language conference volume is expected to be published in the course of 2020.
