CCIA Statement Responding to DMA Fines Against U.S. Tech Companies

Washington – European regulators imposed cease and desist orders that would impact Apple and Meta over the longer term and more than $800 million in fines, saying their efforts to comply with its new antitrust rules under the Digital Markets Act were not adequate. 

The following can be attributed to CCIA President & CEO Matt Schruers:

“These actions are not helping Europe or Europeans, and underscore how politicized the DMA has become. It calls the credibility of the process into question. The European Commission appears to have repeatedly moved the goalposts through a lack of transparency and communication on how designated companies are expected to comply with the DMA.”
