On October 4, 2022, the Council of the EU definitively approved the legislation on digital services. This follows the approval, last July, of the other part of the legislative package on digital services: the Digital Markets Act (DMA) which will be published in the Official Journal of the European Union on October 13, 2022.

 This legislative act, which aims in particular to tackle illegal content and promote transparency online, will start to apply in 2024 for many digital services providers. However, by way of exception, the economic agents which will be designated as belonging to the category of “very large online platforms” and “very large online search engines” will only have 4 months, from the date of their designation, to comply with the DSA.
