Auch wenn ich nicht alles durchsetzen konnte, was ich mir als Sozialdemokratin vorgestellt hatte, kann es sich doch zeigen lassen, was wir erreicht haben, was wir durchgesetzt haben – auch gegen den Willen eines Teils dieses Hauses, des rechten Teils dieses Hauses. Und ich hoffe auch sehr, dass wir in den Verhandlungen mit dem Rat und mit der Hilfe der Europäischen Kommission, die sich hoffentlich – anders als bei anderen Bereichen – auch auf die Seite des Europäischen Parlaments stellen wird, da durchsetzen, was wir durchgesetzt haben.  Denn dank der neuen Regeln werden die Big-Tech—Unternehmen ihre Marktmacht künftig nicht mehr so ausnutzen können wie bisher. In den letzten Jahren ist der Einfluss von Tech-Giganten rasant gestiegen, doch nicht zum Vorteil von Verbrauchern und Verbraucherinnen oder kleineren Unternehmen. Große digitale Plattformen, sogenannte Torwächter –  Ganz besonders stolz bin ich auf einen Punkt – neben dem, was Tiemo bereits angegeben hat mit der Interoperabilität: dass es gelungen ist, zu den sogenannten  Und ich bitte Sie sehr, Herr Schwab, als Berichterstatter in Zukunft dafür zu sorgen, dass dieses auch wirklich durchgesetzt wird. Denn wir wissen, dass sowohl die Europäische Kommission wie auch die Ratsmehrheit da nicht ganz so dieser Meinung sind. Und ich würde das allerdings als eine der ganz wichtigen Grundbedingungen sehen, dafür zu sorgen, dass wir tatsächlich einen Schutz für die Schwächsten in unserer Gesellschaft, die Minderjährigen, durchsetzen. Das ist ganz wichtig.  Wir haben noch viele andere Punkte erreicht, die ich jetzt nicht alle hier benennen kann. Aber auch, dass es die Möglichkeit für die Europäische Kommission gibt,  Ja, wir haben als Parlament eine gute, sehr gute Vorlage gestellt. Wir haben gut gearbeitet. Wir sind froh, dass wir jetzt darangehen können. Und wir müssen jetzt dafür sorgen, dass das Beste daraus wird für die Zukunft unserer Gesellschaft, für die Freiheit, für das, was wir uns immer vorgenommen haben: eine gute Politik für die Menschen, für die Bürger und Bürgerinnen zu schaffen.

As Renew Europe, we have long fought for a unified single market where all businesses, whether big or small, should be able to compete freely and fairly. In short, the DMA is about freedom. The DMA will create more freedom for consumers to choose between platforms and applications. Consumers will have more choice, over how their data is used and for what purposes. The DMA will create more freedom to innovate, by setting clear and fair rules for the most powerful players in the field. For us as Renew Europe, it was always clear that the DMA must not aim to punish foreign companies, but to protect European consumers. The DMA should have a common European approach. Renew Europe argued for the involvement of Member States through the competition and other relevant authorities, while preserving the leading role of the Commission to make final decisions. The DMA must increase consumer choices not limit them. Some groups wanted to completely ban whole business sectors, like targeted advertisements, but Renew Europe believes that consumers should have a right to choose if they want to see targeted ads or not. The sooner we are able to implement the DMA, the sooner our consumers and businesses will profit from a stronger, more unified and more innovative single market.

The vast majority of us recognise the need to increase digital markets’ contestability and ensure fairness. The Commission has done a great job in proposing legislation with the aim to achieve this. And now the European Parliament has the chance to reinforce the Commission’s proposal to the benefit of consumers. Internal market rules must have consumers’ interests at the centre. This is particularly important when it comes to provisions on interoperability. Some of my colleagues highlighted the importance of interoperability and like to speak about that too. By strengthening provisions on interoperability of messaging services and social networks, we can establish a market with more privacy-friendly services to choose from. We don’t need to get stuck in dominant social networks that monetise our data and target us with a target us with commercial offers based on our biggest fears or keep us locked in information bubbles. We don’t need to open a dozen chat service accounts and install a dozen applications to stay in touch with our friends. It’s just a matter of decision, a decision that Europe has to make. A decision to provide more opportunities for competition and SMEs. A decision for more innovation, and the opportunity is now. To wrap up, I’d like to thank the rapporteur and the shadow rapporteurs and the opinion rapporteurs for their constructive work on this extremely important proposal, and I am looking forward to the trilogue.

Comme vous le savez, les géants numériques de la Silicon Valley, Google, Amazon, Facebook, Apple et Microsoft, les GAFAM, régissent la quasi-totalité du secteur numérique en Europe.  Depuis des années, les GAFAM abusent de leur pouvoir de monopole, profitant du dogme néolibéral et du laxisme de la Commission: dumping numérique irlandais, transfert des données européennes aux États-Unis, autorisation du rachat d'Instagram par Facebook, les grandes entreprises technologiques américaines ont racheté ou étouffé tout rival européen potentiel.  Pendant longtemps, nous avons été les seuls à parler d'autonomie stratégique et il y a un an, la Commission a finalement proposé le règlement sur les marchés numériques, le DMA. Cette proposition était comme toujours trop tard, trop faible et trop insuffisante.  Au nom du groupe ID, j'ai défendu des mesures beaucoup plus strictes contre les géants du numérique. Ainsi, les GAFAM pourront se voir infliger une amende allant jusqu'à 20 % de leur chiffre d'affaires global. En cas d'infractions graves, le démantèlement des plus grandes entreprises sera désormais possible. Nous avons aussi insisté pour la liberté des moyens de paiement et pour l'interopérabilité des réseaux sociaux. Et à mon initiative, et je félicite le rapporteur, le DMA comprend une disposition relative aux lanceurs d'alerte. Les lanceurs d'alerte, comme Frances Haugen, seront ainsi protégés lorsqu'ils signaleront des abus des géants du numérique. Bruxelles pourra ainsi empêcher les acquisitions tueuses. On verra si elle le fera. Comme les GAFAM ont ignoré l'administration de Bruxelles jusqu'à présent, j'avais même réclamé des sanctions personnelles contre les dirigeants en cas de manquement grave et intentionnel. Pour que l'Europe retrouve son autonomie stratégique, la Commission et les États comme la France devront montrer une vraie volonté d'agir. C'est une première étape. Nous voulons aller plus loin. Pour développer une base industrielle et technologique européenne dans le secteur numérique, une priorité pour la production locale ou européenne est nécessaire dans les marchés publics en Europe. Mais la préférence nationale et européenne, mes chers collègues, pourquoi vous n'en voulez pas? Oui, osons réserver un quota du nuage (cloud) et de l'emploi pour des Européens en Europe. Osons imposer que les données des citoyens européens soient traitées de préférence en Europe. Ici, nous sommes à Strasbourg, capitale du marché de Noël, et j'en profite aussi pour souhaiter à tous un joyeux Noël.

My group supports the general objective behind the Digital Markets Act (DMA) and the Commission’s original intent to tackle a limited number of behaviours and practices as a priority. We support moving the DMA forward into trilogues, but caution that some additional ideas will require a deeper consideration and revision, in order to avoid there being penalties on the very companies we want the DMA to help.  This is the case of targeted advertising, where my group is cautious about revising advertising rules, particularly as small businesses find it crucial to be able to easily and cost-effectively reach their audience. Additionally, I believe the outcome of the trilogues should avoid any unintended consequences for smaller companies, given that this proposal is intended to reinforce their continuing and improved competitiveness in the European digital market. Indeed, the DMA must lead to improvements for businesses across Europe and not just a few companies who have a bone to pick with the digital giants. I am also focused on making sure that the DMA can be implemented. In this regard. I am happy to see the ECR’s approach to a true regulatory dialogue process maintained, and national experts involved in managing the DMA roll-out. I believe this will be crucial to creating a DMA that delivers for all.

Vážená pani predsedajúca, stotožňujem sa s reguláciou sociálnych sietí v oblasti ochrany života, zdravia, mieru, ochrany práv žien pred násilím, v ochrane pred pornografiou a podobne. Nemôžem sa však stotožniť s reguláciou sociálnych sietí v oblasti trhu. Podľa môjho názoru to nabúrava trh, nabúrava to súťaž, nabúrava to to, čo je základom ekonomiky každého štátu, to znamená tržná ekonomika. Som tiež toho názoru, že regulácia sietí v oblasti trhu nebude na prospech spotrebiteľa. Môj názor je taký, že ochranu spotrebiteľa je potrebné zabezpečiť silnou právnou úpravou, súdnou právnou úpravou, a predovšetkým podporou občianskych združení v jednotlivých národných štátoch, ktorých povinnosťou je zaoberať sa ochranou spotrebiteľa. Preto nemôžem sa stotožniť v celej časti s aktom o digitálnom trhu.

Señora presidenta, señora vicepresidenta, señor comisario, esta semana votamos la Ley de Mercados Digitales, una de las propuestas más importantes para nuestro mercado único en esta legislatura. He de felicitar a la Comisión, que, tras veinte años, por fin trae una propuesta acorde a las necesidades del mercado en el ámbito digital con respecto a los gigantes de internet. Esta propuesta es de vital importancia para nuestras pymes. Lejos de ir contra nadie, busca crear un campo de juego equilibrado para nuestras pymes, para que estas puedan competir en igualdad de condiciones y con las mismas reglas de juego que los gigantes digitales. Hasta hoy no hemos tenido una legislación clara que regule cómo actúan estos gigantes dentro de nuestro mercado. Con esta propuesta creamos seguridad jurídica. Toda empresa es, sin duda, bienvenida, siempre que cumpla con nuestra manera de hacer las cosas, lo que hemos llamado el « La privacidad de nuestros datos es fundamental y, por tanto, hemos apostado por la transparencia. Queremos tener nuestra propia forma de gestionar en el ámbito digital y no la que nos impongan desde fuera. Hasta hoy solo podíamos actuar en términos de competencia  La Ley de Mercados Digitales nos pone a la vanguardia mundial. Europa vuelve a ser ejemplo en regulación digital, como ya lo somos en la protección de los datos con el Reglamento General de Protección de Datos.  Quiero felicitar al ponente, Andreas Schwab, y a los ponentes alternativos por haberlo hecho en el tiempo establecido en plena pandemia, y espero que se apruebe cuanto antes y siguiendo la línea marcada por los ponentes, que han trabajado con una gran voluntad de compromiso.

Fru formand! Kommissærer, kollegaer! Så er vi i gang med at tage kampen og kontrollen tilbage fra de store techgiganter. Når vi senere i dag stemmer om retsakten om digitale markeder, DMA’en, så sætter vi foden ned over for de allerstørste tech-gatekeepers, som alt for længe har kunnet diktere reglerne på vores digitale indre marked. Vi ønsker her i Europa-Parlamentet, at det stopper nu. Reglerne skal sættes demokratisk. Sammen med retsakten om de digitale tjenester, DSA’en, så sætter vi her med DMA’en rammerne for en mere retfærdig digital sfære til gavn for både brugere, forbrugere og virksomheder. Nu sikrer vi, at de største techgiganters forretningsmodel i højere grad skal gavne brugerne, og vi får skabt rammerne for en mere fri og fair konkurrence, så også nye kan komme til. Vi introducerer krav om interoperabilitet. Det synes jeg er et vigtigt redskab i kampen mod platformenes monopol. Og så sender vi et tydeligt signal om, at de største platforme skal gentænke deres forretningsmodel, der bygger på høst og salg af vores personlige data. Med DMA’en, så bliver målrettede reklamer mod mindreårige nu ulovlige for de største gatekeepers. Det er et vigtigt skridt i kampen for, at vi får sikret, at vi får stoppet de store platformes ekstreme høst af vores data.  Endelig er jeg også rigtig glad for, at det lykkedes at inkludere et forbud mod de såkaldte

Madam President, the companies covered by this law are companies so big that they have annual profits bigger than the GDP of some of our Member States. Being so big is not in itself a negative. They are big because people like them and many of our citizens look forward to their next release. With this size, however, must come responsibility. These companies should act in such a way that they serve the needs of the greater society, instead of what is good for their shareholders alone. I regret, that despite their best efforts, these efforts have not been enough. So here we are today, doing by law what these companies should have done on their own. Commissioner, I still think that any start—up can someday take down one of the gatekeepers. I still think that consumers will vote with their wallets and their eyes, and new alternatives will come, and one of the giants will fall. But we must give consumers and start—ups a chance and a choice. And today we do so.

Madam President, a popular German comedy TV show is calling for the expropriation of Facebook, and let’s face it, the Digital Markets Act (DMA) is not fulfilling that expectation. It does, however, contain important first steps in the right direction: data silos, enforceable do’s and don’ts for gatekeepers and interoperability.  But it falls short of breaking up the cartel in the advertising business, largely controlled by two gatekeepers – Google and Facebook – who in the US are facing very serious allegations of teaming up together to shut out competitors, hamper innovation and increase prices for advertisers. Advertising is so crucial because it is at the financial basis for our free press, for our democracy. If we don’t want our publishers to turn into mere content creators in 10 years’ time, then we need to provide a level playing field. That means two things: a ban on tracking advertising, because the gatekeepers will always have more data than our publishers, and breaking up the monopolistic structures in the industry. The DMA is a very good start, but there’s more work to be done.

Signora Presidente, signor Commissario, onorevoli colleghi, sappiamo tutti quanto il processo di negoziazione sia stato lungo e complesso, purtroppo però posso dirmi soddisfatta solo a metà. In primis, non sono convinta che il rialzo delle soglie per stabilire quali aziende rientrino o meno nella definizione di  Basti pensare alle cifre d'affari che queste aziende fanno e alla loro crescita vertiginosa. Intervenire tempestivamente e massicciamente per bloccare in anticipo comportamenti anticoncorrenziali doveva essere, a mio avviso, la priorità. Gli obblighi, è vero, sono stati inaspriti e trovo il testo sotto questo aspetto decisamente migliorato rispetto alla proposta. Il problema, ripeto, è che verranno applicati a meno aziende del previsto. Altro aspetto che trovo poco convincente è la costituzione del gruppo ad alto livello dei regolatori digitali. Sulla carta sembra una proposta vincente e affascinante. La verità è che le sue raccomandazioni non sono vincolanti, alla Commissione rimane pieno potere discrezionale sull'applicazione del regolamento e agli Stati membri e all'esperienza accumulata negli anni rimane ben poco, a parte la cooperazione. Avrei dunque preferito un vero e maggiore coinvolgimento degli Stati membri e delle loro autorità competenti con un ruolo più incisivo.  È essenziale, a mio parere, rafforzare lo scambio di informazioni tra Commissione e Stati membri. Abbiamo però ancora spazio di manovra per rendere questo testo a prova di futuro e sono speranzosa lo diventi. Buon Santo Natale a tutti.

Vážená pani predsedajúca, hlavným nedostatkom predkladaného zákona o digitálnom trhu je samotná definícia strážcu. Veľkosť platformy a počet používateľov samé osebe nepreukazujú, že dochádza k zlyhaniu trhu. Mali by sme sa držať overených postupov definovaných v súťažnej legislatíve, teda vybrať také kritériá, ktoré ukazujú, či k zlyhaniu trhu naozaj dochádza. Súčasne s otázkami v DMA by sme mali otvoriť debatu, prečo je to tak, že ani jeden zo súčasných gigantov digitálneho priemyslu nevznikol v Európskej únii. Umožniť vstup na trh je lepšia stratégia, než nechať vyrásť monopoly bez súťaže a následne ich regulovať. Navyše regulácia, tá navrhovaná, obsahuje aj zákazy a povinnosti pre platformy, ktoré môžu byť neefektívne.

Senhora Presidente, sabemos bem, na época em que vivemos de integração digital, a importância de regular os mercados digitais. Sabemos também que andamos sempre a correr atrás do prejuízo e, por isso, esta proposta é uma proposta importante, embora não suficiente.  É importante para combater o monopólio das cinco plataformas que controlam os mercados digitais. É importante também para combater o controlo que estas plataformas digitais têm sobre os nossos dados. Na verdade, estes dados são dos cidadãos e das cidadãs e não é assim que tem estado a acontecer. Mas, mais importante do que isso seria ter eliminado a publicidade direcionada para todas as pessoas. Esse é um elemento fundamental de controlo dos mercados e, infelizmente, nesta proposta a publicidade direcionada é apenas eliminada para os menores.  Seja como for é um primeiro passo, como referi. Um primeiro passo que nos ajuda em medidas tão importantes como a interoperabilidade. Mas temos que fazer mais e espero que não se reduza ainda a ambição desta proposta.

Madam President, this Digital Markets Act is very good news for Europe and for the world. At long last, we’re making progress to bring the massive tech players that shape our lives under some democratic oversight.  The Committee on the Internal Market and Consumer Protection (IMCO) is proposing many good amendments, but let me stress one that other colleagues have already mentioned today, the one demanding interoperability. This relates to something that I have very much at my heart because those of us that are subject to political persecution and espionage must choose our providers carefully to protect our privacy, but this often means that we will be cut off from our friends and family. Interoperability, if it becomes a reality, should put an end to that, and I hope it will make life easier for dissidents, democracy fighters and activists across the EU. It will certainly help me. Speaking of activists, I cannot miss this chance to remember Julian Assange after the recent bad news. He has my full support and I call again for his immediate release. I urge all European democrats to do the same.

Poštovana predsjedavajuća, za početak želim čestitati izvjestiteljima na odličnom radu na ovom velikom i važnom dokumentu. Predugo je internet rastao i mijenjao se bez ikakve kontrole. U više od dvadeset godina koliko je prošlo od posljednje regulacije, internet se značajno promijenio, okupirao našu svakodnevnicu, postao i nužda i zabava. Postao je i za neke i veliki izvor profita, a za neke velika prijetnja.  Čak 98,5% prihoda Facebooka i 83,3 % prihoda Googlea se ostvaruje oglašavanjem. Građani često nisu svjesni koliko velike platforme profitiraju na našim podacima, raspoloženjima, zdravstvenim stanjima, interesima i slično. Da nas netko prati na ulici to bi bilo ilegalno, no na internetu je sve dopušteno. Pozdravljam zabranu praćenja maloljetnika na internetu u svrhu oglašavanja, te lakše kontrole oglašavanja za odrasle. Velik doseg ovog prijedloga je interoperabilnost različitih usluga, gdje se građane više neće morati primoravati da skidaju određene aplikacije samo zato jer ih njihov kontakt ima. U svjetlu nedavne presude protiv Googlea, koja ostavlja dojam kapi u moru, vrlo je važno osigurati transparentnost tržišta. Svi moraju imati jednak početni poticaj za uspjeh, i mali i veliki.  Ovo izvješće je preduvjet za pravednije digitalno tržište i pozivam države članice da zadrže ambiciozan pristup.
