La Commission Européenne a publié le Digital Market Act. Le DMA crée un nouveau régime de responsabilité pour les acteurs, disposant d’une ou plusieurs activités sur les marchés numériques. Comme attendu, ces « gatekeepers » seront soumis à des obligations générales et sur-mesure, selon leurs activités. Le Cloud computing est notamment dans le périmètre de ce règlement européen.
Notre association soeur CISPE organise demain à 11:00 une réunion publique d’analyse avec 2 parlementaires Européens, un avocat en droit de la concurrence et un acteur du Cloud

Due to be published on Wednesday 15th December, the Digital Markets Act is the European Commission’s response to the systemic challenges posed by dominant players in the digital sector. The discussion has so far largely focused on online platforms, yet many European businesses are being harmed due to the anticompetitive behaviour of some large legacy software providers.
Cloud infrastructure is the backbone of Europe’s digital transformation, yet software providers with dominant market power are acting as ‘gatekeepers’ and are controlling businesses’ access to IT services as they move online to the cloud. The Digital Markets Act presents a unique opportunity to ensure that European businesses are not limited or unfairly coerced in regard to their ‘right to choose’ the best cloud technology.
The DMA must address the harmful practices of dominant software providers that risk seriously undermining the European Commission’s goal to foster an innovative and competitive online digital market in Europe.
Does the proposed DMA legislation address this opportunity?
Join us online on Thursday 17th December at 11.00 CET, as our expert panel assesses the draft DMA and discusses what the European Union can do to ensure dominant software providers do not use their entrenched market power to stifle a dynamic and innovative cloud sector in Europe.
