The workshop will take place on 5 May in Brussels, but remote participation will also be possible.

The DMA, which entered into force on 1 November 2022 and will start to apply as of 2 May 2023, is the EU's new law to ensure fair and contestable markets in the digital sector. It does so by establishing a set of clearly defined objective criteria to identify so-called ‘gatekeepers.' Gatekeepers are large digital platforms providing core platform services, such as online advertising services, online social networking services, online search engines, video-sharing platforms, app stores, and messenger services. This event follows three prior workshops focused on interoperability, self-preferencing and app stores.
