EU competition rules now require companies to report data on their digital services
What happened
The European Union has updated its competition rules. Companies must now report data about their digital services to regulators.
Why it matters
This directive adds a new reporting obligation for companies operating digital services in the EU. It means regulators will have more data to assess market competition. This could lead to earlier detection of anti-competitive practices or market dominance.
The signal
Watch whether the first wave of reports reveals new insights into market concentration or if companies find ways to report data that reveals little.
