Big Platforms'Obligations after the ECJ's Android Auto Judgment: In the name of competition, you will serve your competitors

Original language description

The paper is devoted to the CJEU's decision in Android Auto (C-233/23) of February 25, 2025. In this decision, the ECJ argued for a relatively very large scope of dominant platform obligations dictated by the application of Article 102 TFEU. The analysis seeks to answer two research questions: 1. What are the limits of what a dominant online platform can be forced to do by competition law following the Android Auto decision? and 2. In particular, what does the decision mean for the as yet unsatisfactorily unresolved dispute under EU law between the independent automotive aftermarket (IAA) and original equipment manufacturers (OEMs) over the provision of access to connected vehicle functions and resources? Although on the one hand the obligations of dominant platforms to act at the request of and in favour of a competitor are now substantial, on the other hand the ECJ decision does not bring a breakthrough solution for the IAA.
