Credit Suisse. At the
European Commission, Malikova is working on
antitrust matters including Apple, Amazon, Starbucks, Fiat and Engie. and
gender equality at the
EU institutions. Malikova was removed from her role at the chief economist team of the
Directorate-General for Competition of the
European Commission in July that year, at the time of the nomination of
Fiona Scott Morton, an academic and consultant for CRA, as new chief economist. Fiona Scott Morton's nomination was ultimately derailed by concerns of conflict of interest, that were expressed by the
European Parliament and French President
Emmanuel Macron. ==References==
