Highlights - Calls grow for faster, tougher enforcement of the Digital Markets Act - Committee on the Internal Market and Consumer Protection
On 4 December 2025, the Commission presented an update on the DMA review, outlining the current state of implementation and summarising feedback from the public consultation. It observed that obligations have only been in force for two years, limiting the amount of measurable impact data currently available. Seven gatekeepers have been designated across 23 core platform services, and the Commission has opened seven non-compliance investigations, including two that led to fines.Two interoperability decisions were issued for Apple, and three cloud investigations are ongoing. More than 300 consultation responses expressed strong support for the DMA but called for faster enforcement, greater transparency and clearer guidance. Cloud and AI were recurring themes, with suggestions to extend the DMA to connected TVs and social networks. The final report is expected by 3 May 2026.
Members welcomed the cloud investigations but stressed that interoperability obstacles persist. They noted limited impact so far in broadcasting, steering services and app stores, and voiced concerns over Apple's fees and unchanged terms. Several argued that AI boxes within gatekeeper ecosystems should be considered core platform services. Members also pointed to unresolved issues in viewership, advertising and data, and warned that slow enforcement carries economic costs, urging the Commission to act more decisively.
The Working Group will continue its structured dialogue with gatekeepers.

Highlights - Digital Violence and Women's Mental Health - Committee on Women’s Rights and Gender Equality
On Thursday, 11 December 2025, the FEMM Committee and the Committee on Public Health will organise a joint public hearing on Digital Violence and Women's Mental Health, with the involvement of the Committee on Civil Liberties, Justice and Home Affairs.From misogynistic trolling and sexualised threats to coordinated attacks on activists, journalists and public figures, digital spaces increasingly reproduce and amplify gender-based violence. Online hate, harassment and digital violence has growing mental health consequences for women and girls. The hearing is meant to explore the psychological effects of such abuse - including anxiety, depression, trauma and withdrawal from public life - as well as the lack of adequate legal and psychological support systems.
