The purpose of the Regulation is to ensure the proper functioning of the internal market by promoting effective competition in digital markets and in particular a fair and contestable online platform environment. The Regulation is the first of its kind globally. Co-legislators agreed that this Regulation should apply to core platform services which are most prone to unfair practices. It lays down quantitative thresholds for the designation of gatekeepers (Big digital companies, operating or being accessible in Europe).
