  • The future of GAFAM and competition law: two models in perspective   Order a copy of this article
    by Habiba Bhouri 
    Abstract: Online platforms play a vital role in our daily lives. They have become essential for both internet users and businesses. At present, competition authorities are very active vis-a-vis the strategies of digital giants. Competition law is flexible enough to deal with their specificities. However, the traditional tools of competition law do not make it possible to detect and effectively repress the anti-competitive practices of digital platforms and particularly GAFAM (acronym of Google, Apple, Facebook, and Amazon, to which Microsoft is sometimes added). The authorities are concerned with the performance of the criteria for reviewing merger operations. In this context, reform of competition law is essential to consider the new forms of domination by GAFAM. This article discusses the European initiative and future American projects.
    Keywords: GAFAM; competition law; regulation; monopoly; state authority; big tech.

  • Privatisation process in Kosovo: characteristics, property and legal perspective   Order a copy of this article
    by Ardrit Gashi 
    Abstract: The paper presents a theoretical and practical research endeavour aimed at elucidating various distinct aspects of an ongoing process of privatisation in Kosovo. This process is notable for its unique features and challenges. One fundamental characteristic and, at the same time, an issue within this process, is its primary focus centred around socialist property/socially owned enterprises, distinct from public or state property/state-owned enterprises. These concepts remain ambiguous, particularly in context of investments and real estate markets trends. To provide a comprehensive understanding of this process, this research offers a concise overview of the economic and legal context of property, as well as emphasising the underlying of legal framework governing privatisation process and models. A crucial element of the process involves the allocation of privatised property through long-term leasehold to private individuals. It is important to note that within Kosovo and its neighbouring regions, the concept of leasehold is not formally recognised by property law. This study confronts numerous challenges arising from the unique approach, resulting in a significant number of property related claims. By exploring the complexities, it aims at evaluating whether the process qualifies as privatisation in its strictest sense.
    Keywords: Kosovo; law; privatisation; property; socially owned enterprise; property rights.
