In particular, the workshop of 27 February 2023 will focus on the legal provision on interoperability between messaging services, addressing specifically issues such as end-to-end encryption, security and the identification of users across different messaging services. The technical workshop of 6 March 2023 will focus on app store related provisions, addressing specifically matters relating to alternative in-app payment systems, steering and sideloading.

The DMA has entered into force on 1 November 2022 and will start to apply as of 2 May 2023. To prepare for the enforcement of the DMA, the Commission is engaging proactively with interested parties (including potential gatekeepers, business users, end users of platform services and civil society representatives) to ensure effective and timely compliance of designated gatekeepers with the new rules. In this context, a first workshop on self-preferencing was organised on 5 December 2022.
