handle is hein.journals/atnsj9 and id is 33 raw text is: Athens Journal of Law - Volume 9, Issue 1, January 2023 - Pages 33-58 Digital Markets Act (DMA) and Digital Services Act (DSA): New Rules for the EU Digital Environment By Maria Luisa Chiarella* The Regulation (EU) 2022/1925 of the European Parliament and of the Council of 14 September 2022 on contestable and fair markets in the digital sector and amending Directives (EU) 2019/1937 and (EU) 2020/1828 (known as DMA - Digital Market Act) sets clear rules for large online platforms. It aims to ensure that no large online platform that is in a gatekeeper position - to many users - abuses that position to the detriment of businesses wishing to access those users. The most innovative elements are the introduction of the legal figure of the gatekeeper and the provision of specific duties imposed on the same. The Regulation (EU) 2022/2065 of the European Parliament and of the Council of 19 October 2022 on a Single Market For Digital Services and amending Directive 2000/31/EC (known as DSA Digital Services Act) introduces a common set of rules on intermediaries' obligations and accountability across the single market, aiming to ensure a high level of protection to all users. This paper aims to analyse the new provisions introduced by the Digital Service Package in the framework of market regulation policies.

New and innovative digital services have emerged, changing our daily lives, shaping how we communicate, connect, consume goods, and do business2. This transformation is defined as the new digital revolution, which is as fundamental as that caused by the industrial revolution. At the same time, the use of digital services has also become the source of new risks and challenges, both for society as a whole and for individuals. This situation has been exacerbated by the pandemic emergency which has dramatically increased the use of online bargaining and the use of digital services. In the meantime, digitalisation has become one of the pillars of post-pandemic *Associate Professor of Private Law, Magna Grwcia University, Catanzaro, Italy.
