On 1 November 2022, the interoperability requirement outlined in the Digital Markets Act (DMA) enters into force with a grace period until 2 May 2023. The DMA requires platforms designated as "gatekeepers" to make their interpersonal communications services interoperable with the systems of other service providers. Upon request, "gatekeepers" have to provide free-of-charge technical interfaces or other options to enable interoperability with their system. However, the Act specifies that gatekeepers should not be prevented from implementing measures to ensure that interoperability doesn't negatively impact the integrity of the operating systems, cyber security and protection of the end-user data.
