This paper deals with the newly adopted Digital Markets Act and its relationship and impact on competition law. The legal framework of competition law and standard instruments of competition law have so far served in several cases as a tool for punishing the practices of online platforms whose actions showed certain digital specifics in connection with their market power. As the subject of the regulation is to contribute to the proper functioning of the internal market by establishing harmonized rules that will ensure competitive and fair markets in the digital sector throughout the Union for all businesses, it is obvious that it will intersect with the issue of competition. The main goal of the paper is to examine and to approximate the fundamental features of relationship between the Act on Digital Markets and competition law regulation and clarify the impact on the pillars of competition law.
