The European Union (EU) has taken significant steps in tightening digital trade rules, responding to the challenges faced in the digital era. These regulations aim to protect consumers, maintain fair competition, and ensure that large technology companies do not unfairly dominate the market. One of the key initiatives is the Digital Services Act (DSA) which was introduced to regulate digital platforms and online services. DSA aims to create a safer and more transparent online environment. Platforms such as social media and marketplaces are required to remove illegal content and protect user data. Enforcement of this rule is carried out through a strict reporting and monitoring system. Furthermore, the Digital Markets Act (DMA) will regulate companies that are considered ‘gateways’ in the digital ecosystem, such as Google and Facebook. By identifying these companies, the EU seeks to prevent anti-competitive practices, such as the use of user data for competitive advantage. Under DMA, these companies must fulfill various obligations, including providing fair access to competitors on their platforms. This regulation not only focuses on consumer protection but also regulates sustainability aspects. With increasing attention to the environmental impact of technology, the EU is encouraging companies to adopt more environmentally friendly practices. The integration of sustainability in digital commerce is an important factor, especially in the era of climate change. One of the challenges in implementing this regulation is the difference in legal interpretation in each member country. Each country has varying approaches and technological readiness, which can slow implementation and create uncertainty for companies. To overcome this, the EU plans to educate stakeholders about the new regulations and provide guidance on their implementation. The privacy aspect is also a major concern in this digital trade reform. In the context of GDPR, the EU continues its commitment to protect users’ personal data. Openness in the use of user data by companies is an important pillar in building consumer trust and compliance. Cross-border trade has also been strengthened by the introduction of new rules that make international transactions easier. Enforcement of the rules will certainly be stricter, with an emphasis on fair taxes and tariffs. This aims to create a more open digital market for small companies who want to compete with big players. It is hoped that the existence of this new regulation will be a preventive step to prevent violations that could harm consumers. For example, online fraud and trading of illegal goods are the main highlights which are feared to increase as digital platforms develop. Through cooperation between member states and digital platforms, the EU is committed to reducing these risks. In the long term context, it is hoped that increasingly stringent regulations will create a fair and sustainable digital ecosystem, providing space for innovation and the development of new technologies. In this way, the European Union will be able to compete globally in the technology and digital industry, ensuring that norms and ethics are upheld in modern digital trade.
