Article 43 Reporting of breaches and protection of reporting persons


Summary What does Article 43 of the DMA regulation say?

This is a brief cross-referencing article that connects the Digital Markets Act to an existing piece of EU legislation.

It incorporates the EU's whistleblower protection framework, Directive (EU) 2019/1937, to cover anyone who reports breaches of this Regulation.

Rather than establishing its own reporting mechanism, the article defers entirely to that Directive for both the reporting process and the protections afforded to those who come forward.

Important points:

  • Directive (EU) 2019/1937 governs the reporting of all breaches of this Regulation.
  • Persons who report breaches are protected under that same Directive.
  • Note that under Article 54, this article applies from 25 June 2023, which is a later date than the general application date of the Regulation.

Springlex's summary of the article is a reading aid, not a substitute for the legal text.

Directive (EU) 2019/1937 shall apply to the reporting of all breaches of this Regulation and the protection of persons reporting such breaches.
