Defending fair competition between companies guarantees a competitive economy.
In the context of increased international competition, the development of the single market is a key success factor for companies. Afep promotes a deeper and better integrated single market, with rules contributing to the competitiveness of European business and fostering the establishment of a level playing field with third countries. In particular, Afep calls for:
- An adequate protection of intellectual property rights in the single market and towards third countries to support innovation and fight against counterfeiting,
- A digital single market based on free flow of data, with a reciprocal opening of data markets of third countries, suitable personal data protection rules,
- A competition policy that protects the interests of consumers without jeopardizing the development of producers,
- A simplified regulatory environment that provides legal certainty and reduces administrative burdens.
Emmanuelle Flament-Mascaret joined AFEP in 2001 as Director of Business Affairs and Intellectual Property.
She focuses on competition, consumer rights, intellectual property (patents mainly) and now on digital matters (personal data protection, the data economy). She represents AFEP’s positions in these different areas to the public authorities in both Brussels and Paris, produced from the working groups she regularly leads. She began her career at the Commission des Opérations de Bourse (COB), now the Autorité des Marchés Financiers (AMF), where she held various posts (Public Relations Department, Operations and Financial Information Department ).
