The European Commission has published the 2025 Annual report on the implementation of the Digital Markets Act (COM(2026)247 final).

Main announcement: The Commission reports on DMA enforcement and implementation in 2025, noting seven gatekeepers (Alphabet, Amazon, Apple, Booking, ByteDance, Meta and Microsoft) covering 23 core platform services (CPSs); it records the first removal of a CPS (Meta Marketplace), the adoption of two specification decisions for Apple on iOS interoperability, and the launch on 18 November 2025 of market investigations into AWS and Azure and a broader cloud computing market investigation (report due within 18 months of opening). Also documents non-compliance findings and fines: Meta fined EUR 200 million (Consent-or-Pay model) and Apple fined EUR 500 million (steering/alternative distribution restrictions).
Background and other details: The report summarises regulatory dialogue and monitoring (gatekeepers submitted compliance and independently audited consumer-profiling reports in March 2025; Booking submitted in November 2025), HLG activity including a joint paper mapping AI regulatory interplay and planned joint DMA/GDPR guidelines (public consultation Oct–Dec 2025; adoption intended in 2026), and international cooperation (Commission–JFTC cooperation agreement signed 23 July 2025; Technical Assistance workshop in early February 2025 with partner countries: Albania, Bosnia and Herzegovina, Kosovo, Moldova, Montenegro, North Macedonia, Serbia, Türkiye and Ukraine).
