The European Commission's services and the European Data Protection Board (EDPB) are joining forces to develop guidance on the interplay between the DMA and GDPR. This collaboration aims to clarify the obligations of digital gatekeepers under the DMA, which strongly interact with the GDPR.

Ensuring a consistent interpretation of the DMA and GDPR, while respecting the competences of each regulator in their respective areas, is essential for the effective implementation of both regulatory frameworks and the achievement of their objectives.

The DMA has established a High-Level Group to advise the Commission on the implementation of regulations applicable to gatekeepers. Representatives from the EDPB and the European Data Protection Supervisor (EDPS) are already involved in discussions on data-related and interoperability obligations within this group. The collaboration between the Commission and these bodies aims to deepen cooperation regarding the two regulatory frameworks.
