- Rygian 3y agoQuoting: What happens if a gatekeeper ignores the rules? To ensure the effectiveness of the new rules, the possibility of sanctions for non-compliance with the obligations is foreseen. If a gatekeeper does not comply with the rules, the Commission can impose fines of up to 10% of the company's total worldwide annual turnover or 20% in the event of repeated infringements and periodic penalty payments of up to 5% of the company's total worldwide daily turnover.

- Rygian 3y agoAnd from same source: Will private damages be available to those harmed by gatekeeper conduct? The DMA is a Regulation, containing precise obligations and prohibitions for the gatekeepers in scope, which can be enforced directly in national courts. This will facilitate direct actions for damages by those harmed by the conduct of non-complying gatekeepers.
