The letter, dated March 6, is the fullest defense so far from the European Commission to U.S. criticisms, responding to Jordan’s demand for an EU explanation of its laws.

“The objective of DMA enforcement, as in any other piece of EU law, is to ensure compliance – not to issue fines,” they said, stressing that they are “fully committed” to enforcing the law.

“We are convinced that the European Union and the United States share the common goal of preventing the harmful effects of monopolization,” they said.

Apple, Meta and Google are currently being probed over their compliance with the DMA, facing a March 25 deadline for a decision.

A group of EU lawmakers wrote to U.S. Attorney General Pam Bondi and U.S. trade chief Howard Lutnick to stress that the DMA “is not designed to target companies based on nationality” and also governs China-based Bytedance in a March 5 letter.

“American companies are not only benefiting from the DMA but are also actively calling for its enforcement,” they said, citing Disney, Netflix and Epic Games as potentially benefitting from the law.
