The European Commission has adopted its second annual report on the Digital Markets Act (DMA) for the year 2024. This report outlines the various measures taken from January to December 2024 aimed at ensuring effective enforcement of the DMA, which seeks to promote fairness and competition in the digital sector of the internal market.

Key measures highlighted in the report include the adoption of additional designation decisions for gatekeepers, regulatory dialogues with these gatekeepers and third parties to enhance compliance solutions, and the initiation of specification proceedings and non-compliance investigations against gatekeepers when necessary. These actions are part of the Commission's ongoing efforts to uphold the principles of the DMA.

The report also provides insights into the information submitted by gatekeepers regarding their planned concentrations and their audited descriptions of consumer profiling techniques. This transparency is crucial for monitoring compliance and understanding the practices of major digital players.

Furthermore, the report emphasizes the importance of cooperation and coordination between the European Commission and national authorities. This collaboration is essential to ensure coherent, effective, and complementary enforcement of the DMA across different jurisdictions.

Lastly, the report summarizes the activities conducted in 2024 by the High-Level Group on Digital Markets, which includes various European bodies and networks involved in the DMA's implementation. The full report is available online for public access.
