On the one hand, one has Caffarra, and others like her, insisting that the whole thing is a farce. On the other, there is Ribera claiming highly optimistic achievements.
In my view, the truth does not lie somewhere in the middle; it is plainly weighted more towards the Commission’s position. But the Commission, as sole DMA enforcer, is in a delicate position, aptly exploited by Big Tech and their consultants, and has undoubtedly made mistakes. These may have stemmed from naivety, inexperience, insufficient technological expertise, and perhaps also from the temptation at leadership level to treat the DMA as not much more than a straightforward continuation of antitrust, rather than having the courage to look at it with genuinely fresh eyes.
None of this is irreparable. But there is a great deal of work to be done. A willingness to roll up one’s sleeves, to bring in more people with the right expertise, to reconsider parts of the governance structure, etc.
