1st anniversary of DMA enforcement: Lessons learned and road ahead
Hausfeld LLP
Description
The Digital Markets Act (DMA) was intended to be a gamechanger for big tech. As a globally unprecedented form of regulation, it contains various far-reaching obligations on gatekeepers. Most of these obligations apply since 7 March 2024. The first anniversary in March 2025 presents an excellent opportunity to reflect on what happened over the past year and to look at what lies in front of us. To this end, the webinar will discuss important aspects and developments of both public and private enforcement of the DMA. Key items include
I. Status of public enforcement:
• Gatekeeper designation process
• Compliance reports and implementation of changes
• Regulatory dialogue
• Non-compliance investigations
• Outlook
II. Perspectives on private enforcement:
• Role of private enforcement
• Overview on implementation in Member States
