European Commission Publishes First Report on the Interaction of the Digital Services Act with Other EU Legislation

ZAGREB, 19 November 2025 - The European Commission has published its first report, which, in accordance with Article 91(1) of the Digital Services Act (DSA), assesses the interaction of the DSA with other EU legislation, as well as the threshold for identifying very large online platforms and search engines (VLOPs and VLOSEs).

The report:
  1. Confirms the retention of the threshold criterion of 45 million average monthly active users of a service in the current digital environment;
  2. Presents one of the most comprehensive mappings of EU law to date, analysing 54 legal acts in relation to the DSA across a range of areas, including consumer policy, the audiovisual and media sector, intellectual property, the environment, democracy, security, and justice;
  3. Shows that the DSA largely complements sectoral legislation and establishes a horizontal, fully harmonised framework for digital services, with a few limited cases of potential overlap where closer coordination will be required;
  4. Notes that the findings of this report will provide a basis for future legislative initiatives and revisions of existing acts.
As the national coordinator for digital services, HAKOM will continue to actively monitor the implementation of the DSA and cooperate with competent authorities and stakeholders at both national and European level.

Further details, including the full report and the accompanying Commission staff working document, are available on the European Commission’s website via the provided link.
