In this episode of The Sound of Economics, Rebecca Christie (bruegel.org/people/rebecca-christie) sits down with MEP Aura Salla (bruegel.org/people/aura-salla) and Bruegel Senior Fellow Fiona Scott Morton (bruegel.org/people/fiona-m-scott-morton) to discuss the EU’s evolving tech regulation landscape. The conversation spans critical issues such as the Digital Markets Act, GDPR enforcement, data sovereignty, and the EU’s quest to foster innovation while curbing the dominance of global tech giants.
