CMA and Ofcom
publish joint statement on online safety and competition
Digital
transformation is supporting all sectors of the economy. The Competition and Markets Authority (CMA) and
Ofcom have published a joint statement setting out their common views on the relationship
between online safety and competition in digital markets.
The statement
explores the interaction between interventions to support competition and how
initiatives by the CMA and sector regulator Ofcom can benefit consumers.
1.
Why
safety and competition concerns arise online and why these issues can sometimes
interact in digital markets.
2.
The
implications for policy design.
3.
How
the CMA and Ofcom will take account of these interactions as they continue to
collaborate
This statement forms
part of the work programme, designed by the Digital Regulators Co-operation
Forum (DRCF) to support wider cooperation among digital regulators.
The
International Telecommunication Union (ITU) has long identified how
collaborative regulation represents a fundamental change in the way that
governments and regulators develop regulatory frameworks and rules. In 2016 at the General Symposium for
Regulators ITU presented the concept of collaborative or fifth generation (G5)
regulation under the generations of regulation model. G5 involves a new system of cross-sectoral
regulation involving harmonised rules with holistic and collaborative
approaches as well as high level principles.
