Commission organises DMA compliance workshops with Alphabet, Amazon, Apple, ByteDance, Meta and Microsoft
EC, here
"The fabric of the DMA does not assign a central or institutionalised role to actual
or potential competitors in the enforcement process. The Commission has
nevertheless sought to make the process more participatory by organising a series
of public compliance workshops. This format has allowed stakeholders to voice
concerns and provide input on specific aspects of the compliance measures
adopted by gatekeepers, in an effort to promote broader engagement and
transparency in the enforcement of the DMA. The most significant contribution
to emerge from the public workshops has been the ability of stakeholders to flag
potential compliance issues linked to the technological solutions proposed by
gatekeepers. These exchanges have highlighted not only possible gatekeepers’
shortcomings in meeting DMA requirements, but also the complex ripple effects
such solutions may have across various categories of actors within the ecosystem.
Moreover, participants have drawn attention to the intricate interactions between
DMA obligations and other regulatory frameworks, notably data protection and
security" - From here.
Google’s bringing Gemini to your car with Android Auto
TechCrunch, here.
I was wondering whether the Bundeskartellamt proceeding covers Gemini for Android Auto at all. ("In Commitment 1 (“Interoperability with GAS”), Google undertakes to create and provide
the technical conditions to enable the Google Maps, Google Play and Google Assistant
services contained in GAS, collectively referred to as the “GAS Software Components”29,
to interoperate with voice assistants, map services and app stores of third-party suppliers
in IVI Systems in an equivalent way and to an equivalent extent as the GAS software
components interoperate with each other and that they are thus fully interoperable with
services of other suppliers. Google will make the necessary APIs, terms of service for the
use of the APIs and the documentation required for the implementation available to vehicle
manufacturers and their suppliers"
