The final report indicates future enforcement trends related to vertical restraints, pricing and big data.

On 10 May 2017, the European Commission (Commission) published its final report on the E-commerce Sector Inquiry (Final Report or Report).1 The inquiry is part of the Commission’s broader Digital Single Market (DSM) strategy, an ambitious program which aims to promote the EU’s digital economy. As is often the case when the Commission moves forward with an agenda in a certain sector, antitrust and regulatory instruments are used in parallel to deepen the knowledge of a certain sector and ensure all issues and deadlocks are properly addressed. The mid-term review of the DSM strategy,2 published simultaneously with the Report, takes stock of where the Commission stands with its initiatives and sets out how it plans to complete the DSM by 2019.
