EU Tech Regulation

EU Tech Regulation

European Union is putting in place a broad and stringent regulatory framework for the technology sector, focused on safety, competition, and interoperability. This approach is anchored by major legislation such as the Digital Services Act (DSA), which governs online content, and the Digital Markets Act (DMA), designed to limit the dominance of large gatekeeper platforms. In parallel, updated rules will require devices to last longer and feature batteries that can be repaired or replaced by 2027.
