Download Business Daily Meets: Margrethe Vestager
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’s win against Google in one of Europe’s 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’s Important Projects of Common European Interest programme – which allows joint investments in riskier technologies – could help alleviate Europe’s energy crisis.
