On 18 July 2022, the Council of the European Union adopted the regulation on contestable and fair markets in the digital sector (Digital Markets Act). According to the adopted text, “gatekeepers” will have to notify the European Commission about their intent to merge or acquire another company providing “core platform services” or other digital services, even if that acquisition does not meet the threshold in the EU merger regulation. The DMA will be implemented six months after its publication in the Official Journal of the European Union.
