Sugar Mizzy February 15, 2022

STRASBOURG (Reuters) – Landmark European rules aimed at limiting the power of U.S. tech giants could be agreed between lawmakers and EU countries as early as April, with sticking points expected to be resolved in the coming weeks , said a key lawmaker leading the talks. Tuesday.

Known as the Digital Markets Act (DMA), the rules proposed by EU antitrust chief Margrethe Vestager just over a year ago set out a to-do list and don’ts for online gatekeepers – the companies that control data and access to their platforms – bolstered by fines of up to 10% of global revenue.

The DMA targets Apple, Google’s Alphabet unit, Facebook’s parent company Meta, Amazon and Microsoft. It must be approved by EU lawmakers and EU countries before it can become law.

Lawmaker Andreas Schwab, who has already had two meetings with EU countries on the subject and has scheduled a third on March 1, said he was optimistic that a deal could be struck in what would be a while. record for a key piece of legislation.

“We still want to finalize this at the end of March, beginning of April,” Schwab told Reuters in an interview.
