CJEU Delivery of judgment: Imagens Médicas Integradas
Why it matters
If the Court upholds competition liability for data-sharing or interoperability practices in healthcare/payments, it will clarify the scope of abuse-of-dominance duties for digital platforms and payment systems under Articles 101–102 TFEU, directly shaping enforcement against SIBS and similar gatekeepers in regulated sectors.
What to watch
- Whether the ruling changes how EU institutions, regulators or companies can act immediately.
- Implications for competition, state aid and market structure.
- Follow-up from the Commission, Council, national governments, regulators or affected companies after the court step.
- Whether the case creates a precedent that should be pinned as a durable legal or policy milestone.
- Case context: Competition; Court of Justice - Grand Chamber; Advocate General - Medina; Joined cases: C-259/23 Synlabhealth II | C-260/23 SIBS - Sociedade Gestora de Participações Sociais and Others.
