BEREC response to the European Commission’s consultation on the first review of the Digital Markets Act

BEREC strongly supports the Digital Markets Act (DMA) and the European Commission (EC)’s ambition to create contestable and fair digital markets for the benefit of European citizens and businesses. While the DMA imposes many obligations which are already having a positive impact on business and end users, BEREC believes that the current regulation can be further implemented to its full potential. Moreover, new challenges have emerged since the entry into force of the DMA, and a targeted adaptation of the current regulation will provide a powerful regulatory tool to tackle them.

In this context, BEREC welcomes the opportunity to contribute to the EC public consultation on the first review of the DMA launched in July 2025. This BEREC response focuses on those services and technologies which fall within – or are closely connected to – its regulatory remit, that is number-independent interpersonal communication services (NI-ICS), cloud computing services, artificial intelligence (AI), and data collection and cooperation with national authorities, European networks and the EC.
