We firmly support the DMA. Digital platforms have grown rapidly over the past decade. Time is of the essence to assess their ability to set the rules of the market, and to set fair conditions across the economy. We welcome the proposal, not just because we share the objectives it pursues, but also because we believe it follows a practical approach that can make it successful.

What they argued
Banco Santander welcomes the European Commissions Communication on the competitiveness of the banking sector and the Single Market in banking. It provides a useful foundation for strengthening Europes banking sector while safeguarding financial stability. We particularly welcome the Commissions call for a more proportionate, risk-based and economically grounded approach to regulation and supervision.

Everything on this page comes from Banco Santander’s own submissions to the European Commission — we have added nothing and interpreted nothing.
