Questions about Digital Markets Act

Does Digital Markets Act apply to my business?

The Digital Markets Act applies to you only if your undertaking provides a core platform service and is designated as a gatekeeper under Article 3. The trigger is designation, not your sector, size or turnover alone, and the obligations in Articles 5, 6 and 7 bind only designated gatekeepers.

Who does Digital Markets Act apply to?

It applies to undertakings designated as gatekeepers providing core platform services to business users established in the Union or end users established or located in the Union, as set out in Article 2(1) and Article 3. The Commission is the sole enforcer at Union level.

Does Digital Markets Act apply to a small business?

The Digital Markets Act has no size threshold that exempts a business. The Article 3(2) thresholds are presumptions of gatekeeper status, and Article 3(8) requires the Commission to assess carefully whether a medium-sized, small or micro enterprise could substantially undermine contestability.

When does Digital Markets Act apply from, and what are the deadlines?

The Regulation entered into force on 1 November 2022, with general application from 2 May 2023 under Article 54. A gatekeeper must comply with Articles 5, 6 and 7 within 6 months after a core platform service is listed in the designation decision (Article 3(10)), and must notify the Commission within 2 months of meeting the Article 3(2) thresholds (Article 3(3)).

What does Digital Markets Act require me to do?

You must meet the behavioural obligations in Articles 5, 6 and 7, which cover pricing freedom, data use and consent, ranking, advertising transparency, data access and portability, and messaging interoperability. You must also notify the Commission under Article 3(3) and run an independent compliance function under Article 28(1).

What records or documents does Digital Markets Act require me to keep or produce?

You must submit a detailed compliance report to the Commission within 6 months after designation and publish a non-confidential summary (Article 11(1) and Article 11(2)). You must also submit an independently audited description of consumer profiling techniques within 6 months (Article 15(1)) and publish an interoperability reference offer (Article 7(4)).

What happens if I do not comply with Digital Markets Act?

The Commission may impose fines of up to 10 per cent of total worldwide turnover for intentional or negligent non-compliance with Articles 5, 6 and 7, and up to 20 per cent for repeated infringement within 8 preceding years. Procedural infringements attract fines of up to 1 per cent, and the Commission may impose periodic penalty payments and structural or behavioural remedies under Article 18.

How do I start complying with Digital Markets Act?

The first practical step is to check whether you meet the Article 3(2) quantitative thresholds and, if you do, to notify the Commission within 2 months under Article 3(3). It also names the compliance function under Article 28(1) as a governance requirement.
