The report published today by Enrico Letta from the Jacques Delors Institute is a welcome effort to remove barriers that prevent the Single Market from delivering its potential.

Today, the Commission has launched investigative proceedings against Meta, Google and Apple for failing to comply with the EU’s new Digital Markets Act, in a move that will encourage consumers that they will get greater choice in online markets.

The European Commission’s decision today that Apple broke EU antitrust rules by restricting consumers’ choice of music streaming services in the EU’s Single Market is a strong signal in favour of consumers.

The EU’s Digital Markets Act (DMA) offers consumers important new opportunities for more choice and protection online – but this will only happen if these rights are effectively implemented by gatekeepers. That’s why, ahead of the 7 March deadline for Big Tech companies to comply with their new obligations, BEUC calls on the DMA enforcer, the European Commission, to take prompt and effective enforcement action if gatekeepers fail to do so.
