The European Commission has published a summary and the individual contributions received in response to the consultation on the ongoing review of the Digital Markets Act (DMA).
The Commission welcomes the high level of participation, with over 450 contributions submitted by a broad range of interested parties, including small and medium-sized enterprises (SMEs), gatekeepers, civil society organisations, academics, and individual citizens. The contributions generally show respondents’ broad support for the DMA’s objectives and indicate that the regulation has already brought benefits. Some contributions ask to strengthen interoperability, data access and data portability, as well as support for SMEs. Some also ask to expand the DMA’s scope, particularly in relation to AI and cloud services. Gatekeepers on the other hand expressed criticisms such as regarding impact on user experience, as well as concerns about proportionality.
The assessment of these contributions will feed into the Commission’s review report to be presented by 3 May 2026 to the European Parliament, the Council, and the European Economic and Social Committee. The regular review of the DMA every three years is a legal requirement, mandated by the regulation itself, to ensure that the DMA meets its objectives and maintains its effectiveness in the evolving landscape of digital markets.
The public consultation, which was launched on 3 July 2025 as part of the ongoing review, was accompanied by a call for evidence and a dedicated questionnaire on Artificial Intelligence (AI), which were published on 26 August 2025. The contributions to the call for evidence are already public.
