Today, we found that X should not be designated as a core platform service under the Digital Markets Act.
We concluded that X does not qualify given that our investigation revealed that X is not an important gateway for business users to reach end users.
We will continue to monitor the developments in the market concerning this service should any substantial changes arise.

As the geopolitical ground shifts beneath our feet, humanity looks to the UN for solutions. And rightly so.
This week, President von der Leyen attended the 79th United Nations General Assembly and side events.
She reaffirmed that only a strong multilateral system can hold those who think they’re above international law accountable.
On climate, she stressed the importance of critical raw materials for the clean energy transition and shared the positive experience of carbon pricing in 🇪🇺.
