ACT | The App Association Applauds House Judiciary’s Attention to the Anti-Competitive Digital Markets Act

WASHINGTON – ACT | The App Association applauds Chairman Fitzgerald’s recognition of and efforts to address non-tariff trade barriers like the European Union’s Digital Markets Act (DMA).

“Addressing the negative effects of the Digital Markets Act (DMA) on small businesses has been a priority for the App Association” said Morgan Reed, president of ACT | The App Association. “We are grateful for Chairman Fitzgerald and Congress’ willingness to take action and their support for the U.S. Trade Representative’s actions to address the anti-competitive DMA and any future digital regulations through ongoing trade negotiations. The DMA is hamstringing small tech companies in the U.S. and EU. In taking aim at big tech, it is causing untold collateral damage on App Association members and other small tech companies that rely on the global reach of curated online marketplaces.”
