The European Commission published its third annual report outlining the progress towards achieving the objectives of the Digital Markets Act (‘DMA') to support fair and contestable digital markets in the EU.

The report provides information about the progress in the open proceedings under the DMA. Some of the proceedings reached a closure with the adoption of two non-compliance decisions accompanied by fines: one on anti-steering and one related to consumers' options on the usage of their personal data. In addition, last year, the Commission set out the conditions for interoperability with connected devices, such as smartwatches or other wearables, closing two specification proceedings opened in 2024.

The Commission also opened three market investigations related to the cloud sector: two investigations on whether certain cloud computing services should be designated as gatekeepers, and a third investigation into the effectiveness of the DMA in supporting the competitiveness and fairness of the cloud computing sector, in addition to a non-compliance investigation into possible demoting of media publishers' content in search results.

Additionally, the report gives the latest data on gatekeepers' reporting obligations, such as on their mergers and acquisitions, and audited descriptions of their consumer profiling techniques. It also outlines this year's activities related to cooperation across legal frameworks, including those related to the DMA High-Level Group, as well as the Commission's co-operation with authorities from third countries.
