EU Commission & EDPB publish responses to joint GDPR-DMA guidelines consultation
13/03/2026 | European Commission
The European Commission and the European Data Protection Board (EDPB) have published individual submissions from a public consultation regarding draft joint guidelines on the interaction between the EU General Data Protection Regulation (GDPR) and the Digital Markets Act (DMA). Over 100 submissions were received from a diverse range of participants, including gatekeepers, small businesses, civil society, and academics.
The feedback indicates broad support for cross-regulatory dialogue to ensure coherence between the enforcement of the DMA and the protection of fundamental rights under the GDPR.
Officials are currently assessing these submissions to determine how to adapt the draft guidelines to improve legal clarity for EU businesses and citizens. The final guidelines are expected in the final quarter of 2026.
