Brussels, October 9th - The European Data Protection Board (EDPB) and the European Commission have jointly approved guidelines on the interaction between the Digital Markets Act (DMA) and the General Data Protection Regulation (GDPR). These are the first joint guidelines issued by the Board and the Commission. In line with the EDPB's strategy for 2024-2027 and the objectives of the recent Helsinki Declaration, which aim to facilitate compliance with the GDPR and strengthen consistency, the EDPB has collaborated with the European Commission, each within their respective mandates, to promote the coherent application of the DMA and the GDPR, and to enhance legal certainty for "gatekeepers," companies, beneficiaries, and individuals. Anu Talus, Chair of the EDPB, stated: "These joint guidelines are the result of a fruitful collaboration between the EDPB and the European Commission. This is the first time that the EDPB and the European Commission have jointly developed guidelines. This approach maximizes the usefulness of the guidelines by simplifying compliance."
