Commission publishes its first annual report on the Digital Markets Act

The Commission has issued its inaugural annual report to the Council and the European Parliament on the Digital Markets Act (DMA). Under Article 35 of the DMA, it is required to present a yearly account covering how the regime is being implemented and the headway made towards its objectives. The report sets out the Commission’s DMA-related work during 2023, including the preparation and formal adoption of the Implementing Regulation as well as the notification templates. Furthermore, on 5 September 2023, Alphabet, Amazon, Apple, ByteDance, Meta and Microsoft were designated as gatekeepers for a total of 22 core platform services, while a separate decision declined to designate Samsung as a gatekeeper for its web browser. The document provides an overview of those designation decisions and records that Apple, Meta and ByteDance have submitted appeals. It also notes that the Commission’s monitoring activities under the DMA—assessing whether designated gatekeepers are complying with their obligations—will not commence until 7 March 2024...
