Text of the amendment

As tabled

Wording it would add

(26c)In order to apply differentiated conditions without relying on the place of establishment of an undertaking, the notion of very large enterprise should be defined by reference to effect-based criteria: significant economic power on one or more markets in the digital economy, designation as a gatekeeper or the provision of core platform services, annual worldwide turnover and market capitalisation, and the ability to access, accumulate or aggregate large volumes of data across services or jurisdictions. Such an approach captures market power irrespective of the origin of the undertaking and avoids any discrimination based on nationality.

Justification

An effect-based definition rather than an origin-based one, consistent with Union law and with the criteria already used by Regulation (EU) 2022/1925.

Target

Wording of the targeted provisionlaw in force, Commission proposal, latest Council text

No Council text amends Recital 26c (new).
