DMA enforcement: Trends and gaps in the first year of application

13 December 2024

In November, ACELG co-organized the second annual Digital Markets Act (DMA) Enforcement Symposium in Brussels. The event brought together scholars, regulators, and policymakers to discuss the first year of the DMA's application, explore enforcement trends, and address gaps in ensuring a fair digital marketplace.

The event was co-organised with ARTICLE 19 in cooperation with Università di Trento, Université de Namur and the Centre for Digital Governance.

During this year's panel, various scholars presented and discussed their research on the enforcement of the DMA and to share best practices on rule-based compliance, regulatory dialogue, and procedural challenges.

From ACELG, our colleagues Kati Cseres, Giacomo Tagiuri and Viktorija Morozovaite all chaired panels during the two-day conference.

Successful enforcement?

Starting from 7 March 2024, the
gatekeepers designated by the European
Commission under the Digital Markets Act
(DMA) are called to comply with the obligations under this new regulatory framework. Both business users and end users should be able to see and profit from tangible change in gatekeepers’ practices. Questions around how to enforce the DMA are joined by new ones: Is it working? How can compliance with the rules be assessed? Is the regulatorydialogue leading to good results? What does the evidence say about enforcement? What are the main procedural challenges?
