Article 47 Guidelines
Summary What does Article 47 of the DMA regulation say?
This is a notably brief article that grants the Commission a discretionary power to issue guidelines on any aspect of the Digital Markets Act.
Its purpose is to support the practical implementation and enforcement of the regulation, acting as a facilitative tool rather than imposing hard obligations on gatekeepers or other parties.
Important points:
- The Commission may adopt guidelines on any aspect of this Regulation — this power is discretionary, not mandatory.
- The sole stated purpose of any such guidelines is to facilitate the effective implementation and enforcement of the regulation.
- This article complements Article 46, which deals with the Commission's power to adopt binding implementing acts, by providing a softer, non-binding guidance mechanism.
