Highlights - MEPs scrutinise the Commission’s enforcement role in EU digital policy - Committee on the Internal Market and Consumer Protection
On 27 January, Executive Vice-President Henna Virkkunen outlined recent developments in digital policy and reported on the enforcement of the Digital Services Act and the Digital Markets Act, including the first DSA non-compliance decision adopted in December 2025 and the ongoing first review of the DMA. Members questioned the Executive Vice-President on issues across her portfolio, notably the proposed 28th regime, the effectiveness of DMA and DSA enforcement, and Europe’s digital sovereignty.They also raised questions about simplification efforts and potential risks of deregulation, as well as policies to close the innovation gap and reduce strategic technological dependencies on the United States and China.
In her replies, EVP Virkkunen described the current period as decisive for Europe's global competitiveness. She noted that although Europe generates many start-ups, difficulties in scaling up often lead companies to relocate abroad, particularly to the United States. This challenge informs work on the 28th regime to facilitate cross-border activity. She stressed the role of public procurement in supporting digital sovereignty, highlighted initiatives on online protection of minors, including age verification, and underlined interoperability and stronger cloud services as key drivers of competitiveness within the evolving European digital ecosystem and policy framework.
