The European Commission (the “EC”) has tried to regulate e-commerce and the related challenges offered by internet giants “GAFAM” - acronym for Google, Amazon, Facebook, Apple and Microsoft, the biggest internet based corporations, from time to time also Netflix and/or Twitter is added – and last winter a significant step has been undertaken.

In the following months and years, the European Parliament and the European Council will vote the two Digital Service Act (the “DSA”) and the Digital Market Act (the “DMA”) as part of the European Union (the “EU”) strategy for the digital market.

This newsletter will try to summarise some of the main elements of those legislations.
