Article summary

The European Parliament has announced that its Internal Market and Consumer Protection Committee has adopted a position on the Digital Markets Act (DMA) proposal, with 42 votes in favour, two against and one abstention. The DMA proposal, first put forward by the European Commission, outlines the rules on companies with the status of ‘gatekeeper’, and what they will be allowed to do and not do within the EU. The proposal is to apply to major firms providing ‘core platform services’ that are most prone to unfair practices, including online intermediation services, social networks, search engines, operating systems, online advertising services, cloud computing, and video-sharing services.
