European Union: Adopted EU Commission template for compliance report for designated gatekeepers under Article 11 of DMA

On 9 October 2023, the European Commission adopted the template of the compliance report that gatekeepers are obliged to submit annually under Article 11 of the Digital Markets Act (DMA). In order to verify the compliance of the gatekeeper with the obligations in articles 5, 6 and 7 of the Digital Markets Act (DMA), gatekeepers have to report on the measures implemented. Gatekeepers have to submit a compliance report within 6 months after being designated as such. The gatekeepers who submitted a compliance report before the adoption of the template have to highlight the differences between the new and the old report.
