The legislative package on digital services and markets (respectively, the Digital Services Act or DSA and the Digital Market Act or DMA) has brought about a revolution in the operation of platforms and economic operators, who will have to comply with several additional obligations in the context of the digital economy. In an opinion article for Marketeer magazine, Rita Serrano, Senior Associate for the Technology, Media and Telecommunications (TMT) practice at CCA, explains the applicability of this legislative package and the public consultation regarding independent audits.

As Rita clarifies "The European lawmaker - as it considers that there are still many gaps to be filled, in particular, regarding the regulation of the activity of large platforms controlling key ecosystems in the digital economy - adopted the said legislative package and imposed a set of obligations [on] digital economic operators".
