#DeviceNeutrality must be central to this effort. Users must have full control over their devices: the freedom to install and uninstall software and operating systems, free from gatekeeper interference.
We regret the EC fails to recognise the need of changing the DMA in order to accommodate the pressing needs of the diverse stakeholders involved in the software industry in the EU.

Some dominant companies engaging in predatory behaviour do not meet the quantitative and qualitative thresholds of the law, which limits competition and contestability in the EU digital makers, hampering interoperability and software freedom, and forces business and end-users into vendor lock-ins. A review of the DMA should have expanded the regulation’s scope to a broader range of companies as well as to new types of Core Platform Services.
