Amsterdam, Nov 14 (Reuters) - The European Commission on Thursday Said Hotel Reservation Website Booking.com Must Now Comply With Strict EU Obligations, Following Its Designation as a "Gatekeeper" Under the Digital Markets Act in May.
阿姆斯特丹,11月14日(路透社)- 歐盟委員會週四表示,酒店預訂網站Booking.com現在必須遵守嚴格的歐盟義務,作爲其"門衛"在5月的數字市場法下。
The Digital Markets Act (Dma) Is One of the Most Stringent Regulations Targeting Tech Giants' Market Dominance, Imposing Tougher Obligations to Moderate Content, Allow Fair Competition and Make It Easier for Consumers to Switch Between Services.
數字市場法(Dma)是針對科技巨頭市場主導地位的最嚴格的法規之一,施加更嚴格的義務以合理化內容、促進公平競爭並使消費者更容易在服務之間進行切換。
It Designates Companies With More Than 45 Million Monthly Active Users and 75 Billion Euros ($79 Billion) in Market Capitalisation as Gatekeepers, Providing a Core Platform Service for Business Users.
該法將用戶數超過4500萬和市場資本化達到750億歐元(約合790億美元)的公司指定爲門衛,爲業務用戶提供核心平台服務。
If a Gatekeeper Does Not Comply With the Dma, the Commission Can Impose Fines of up to 10% of the Company's Total Worldwide Turnover, Which Can Go up to 20% in Case of Repeated Infringements. It Can Also Impose Limits on Takeover Activity.
如果門衛不遵守Dma,委員會可以對公司全球總營業額處以最高10%的罰款,若重複違規則罰款可高達20%。還可以對收購活動實施限制。
