Open Markets joins civil society submission on strong enforcement of the EU’s Digital Markets Act
The Open Markets Institute has joined civil society partners in making a public submission to the European Commission on effective compliance with the DMA. The submission is a response to the Commission’s consultation on the regular reports that dominant tech platforms (known as gatekeepers under the legislation) will need to submit in order to demonstrate their compliance with the regulation.
The joint submission provides a number of concrete suggestions for the reports, including that gatekeepers provide tailored reporting on their compliance with each obligation under the legislation, and that compliance with the DMA is also in line with relevant requirements in the EU’s General Data Protection Regulation. The submission also sets out a framework for measuring compliance based on three dimensions (process, output and impact) and calls for a high degree of public transparency to ensure that third parties are able to hold the gatekeepers and regulators to account.
The following organisations are signatories to the letter: Open Markets Institute; ARTICLE 19; Balanced Economy Project; Irish Council for Civil Liberties; Open Markets Institute; Privacy International.
