SIIA Letter for the Record on the EU Digital Markets Act

The Software & Information Industry Association (SIIA) submitted this letter for the record in connection with the House Antitrust Subcommittee hearing on "Anti-American Antitrust: How Foreign Governments Target U.S. Businesses." The letter outlines SIIA's serious concerns with the European Union's Digital Markets Act (DMA), arguing that its design and enforcement have failed to achieve stated policy goals while disproportionately targeting U.S. companies.

Drawing on economic studies, enforcement examples, and market impacts, SIIA explains that the DMA has reduced innovation, degraded products and services, increased costs, and introduced significant legal uncertainty. The letter also highlights the broader economic harm to both the U.S. and EU digital economies, elevated cybersecurity risks, and the danger of other jurisdictions replicating the EU's regulatory approach despite its demonstrated shortcomings.
