  • Statement by Margrethe Vestager to Committee on the Judiciary, Subcommittee on Antitrust, Commercial
    COMMITTEE ON THE JUDICIARY SUBCOMMITTEE ON ANTITRUST, COMMERCIAL AND ADMINISTRATIVE LAW UNITED STATES HOUSE OF REPRESENTATIVES STATEMENT BY MARGRETHE VESTAGER EXECUTIVE VICE-PRESIDENT, EUROPEAN COMMISSION Introduction Chairman Cicilline, Ranking Member Sensenbrenner, members of the subcommittee, thank you for accepting this written statement for submission with regard to the subcommittee’s investigation into competition in the digital economy and the role of digital platforms. I provided my previous submission to this subcommittee in my capacity as the European Union’s Commissioner for Competition. Following the entry into office of the new European Commission on 1 December 2019, in addition to the portfolio of Commissioner for Competition which I have retained, in my capacity as Executive Vice-President of the Commission for a Europe fit for the Digital Age, I also have the broader policy responsibility of coordinating the Commission’s work in addressing the varied challenges arising from today’s digital economy, and ensuring that the digital world works better for European citizens. Although only 9 months have passed since my previous submission, policy reflections on the issues and challenges raised by digital platforms have intensified around the world, and so it is a very timely moment for me to be able to address you again, and inform you of the latest developments and the nature of our own reflections, both as regards the application of competition policy itself, as well as policy initiatives that are complementary to competition policy. I have followed closely the hearings conducted by the subcommittee over the last year, and I am comforted to see that the issues you are looking at overlap to a large extent with what we are examining and seeking to address on this side of the Atlantic.

The role of the rotating presidency of the council has gone through a considerable change since the entry into force of the Lisbon treaty. The European Council is now chaired by a permanent President and foreign affairs are placed under the chairmanship of the High Representative. Furthermore, the presidencies are more systematically coordinated within a Trio of presidencies. These changes limit the role of the presidency, but there are still many tasks that remain in the hands of the country holding the presidency.

  • Day by Day Summary of the Election Campaign
    Day by Day Summary of the Election Campaign Friday, 26 August It was Prime Minister Lars Løkke Rasmussen’s plan to introduce a bonus to people purchasing a house. This bonus has been criticized for artificially inflating house prices and therefore for being a bad way to instigate growth. On Saturday 20 August the Social Democrats (S) somehow learned about the plan and decided to launch it themselves, despite Helle Thorning-Schmidt having said on Friday that she did not want to introduce measures to stimulate the housing market. This led to a chaotic Saturday where Løkke Rasmussen and the Liberal Party (V) tried to do damage control. Quickly the Danish People’s Party (DF) declared their opposition to the plan due to a lot of their voters not being house owners. Liberal Alliance (LA) is as a general rule opposed to state subsidies so they were opposed as well leaving V and the Conservative Party (K) alone with the plan on the blue wing. On the red wing the situation was similar. S and the Socialist People’s Party (SF) agreed on the idea while the Unity List (EL) represents the left wing and therefore does not believe in the state funding those with the means to buy a house – plus a lot of their voters rent their homes. The Social Liberal Party (R) is opposed with the argument that the plan is a shortsighted one which will probably not do much for the economy anyway. Thus S-SF and VK were alone and they did not want to cooperate to get a majority for the plan.

  • Denmark's Fight Against Irrelevance, Or the Alliance Politics Of
    5 Denmark’s Fight Against Irrelevance, or the Alliance Politics of ‘Punching Above Your Weight’ Kristian Søby Kristensen & Kristian Knus Larsen At the official memorial service for Nelson Mandela on 13 December 2013, Roberto Schmidt, a photographer from Agence France-Presse (AFP), caught US President Barack Obama and UK Prime Minister David Cameron flanking Danish Prime Minister Helle Thorning-Schmidt while all three smiled and posed for a selfie. The picture immediately went viral and sparked global media debates ranging from how heads of state and government should behave at official events to whether Michelle Obama looked angry, jealous or just more interested in following the memorial service than in group selfies.1 In the context of Danish alliance politics, however, the symbolism of the picture carries more significant messages. In international relations, being positioned squarely and securely between the United States and the United Kingdom, and getting positive attention from both, to a large extent defines both the means and the ends of Danish security policy. Increasingly, and for the last decade or more, the core goals of Danish 1 As was the case, for instance, with UK newspaper the Guardian in which the selfie was ‘portrayed as a mark of disrespect’. See Judith Soal, ‘Barack Obama and David Cameron Pose for Selfie with Danish PM’, Guardian, 11 Dec. 2013. 59 GLOBAL ALLIES alliance politics have been to associate Denmark closely with and get the maximum amount of positive attention from the United States first and foremost. This policy has, surprisingly to many, been consistent across governments and incurred tangible costs in both Danish blood and treasure while providing only more intangible Danish political gains.
