Digital Markets Act
10-12-2021 - 13:21
The Internal Market and Consumer Protection Committee adopted by 42 votes in favour, two against and one abstention its position on the Digital Markets Act (DMA) proposal, which sets rules on what companies with “gatekeeper” status will be allowed to do and not to do in the EU.
The DMA file is due to be voted on in plenary in December 2021. The approved text will then become Parliament's mandate for negotiations with EU governments, planned to start under the French presidency of the Council in the first semester of 2022. The Digital Services Act (DSA) - a parallel proposal to regulate online platforms, dealing with, among other issues, illegal content and algorithms - will be voted on by the committee at a future meeting.
