Navigating the DMA: Application Across National Jurisdictions

The Digital Markets Act (DMA) marks a pivotal shift in the EU’s approach to regulating the digital economy, targeting powerful gatekeepers to foster fairness and contestability on digital markets. While the European Commission plays a central role in its enforcement, EU Member States are vital contributors, adding layers of complexity and nuance to the regulation’s implementation.

This book offers a twofold approach: an insightful, detailed overview by the Editors, providing a cohesive analysis of the DMA’s role and its interaction with broader EU and national policies, followed by expert contributions from key European jurisdictions. These national perspectives provide an exhaustive exploration of legislative initiatives, landmark cases, and enforcement practices, offering a comprehensive understanding of the DMA’s implementation across the EU.

Through this structured and collaborative format, the book not only highlights the challenges of harmonizing EU and national regulatory efforts but also offers practical insights into how Member States are navigating the DMA’s integration. Essential for policymakers, legal practitioners, academics and industry stakeholders, this volume serves as a definitive guide to the DMA and its transformative impact on Europe’s digital markets.
