This infoclip is related to the big tech companies operating in the EU. The European citizens should fully enjoy their right to control over when and how their data is used online, and businesses can freely communicate with their own customers. Recently, some big tech companies have taken away this free choice from their users and now are required to change their behaviour. In April 2025, the European Commission found that Apple breached its obligation under the Digital Markets Act (DMA), and that Meta breached the DMA obligation to give consumers the choice of a service that uses less of their personal data. Therefore, the Commission has fined Apple and Meta with €500 million and €200 million, respectively. In March 2025 the European Commission has also notified that Google has breached the Digital Markets Act.

Ciallaíonn ballraíocht san Aontas bheith i gceann de na geilleagair is mó ar domhan agus sa mhargadh aonair is mó. Cothaíonn sé fás agus tugann sé breis roghanna do thomhaltóirí. Téann an tAontas i ngleic le míchothromaíochtaí idir na réigiúin, tacaíonn sé leis an talmhaíocht, le gnóthais bheaga agus leis an nuálaíocht agus spreagann sé geilleagair nua-aimseartha níos glaise. Éiríonn leis rochtain níos fearr agus praghsanna cothroma a fháil ar mhargaí an domhain, ina cháil mar ghníomhaí cumhachtach domhanda.

Infheistíocht, fás, rogha: na buntáistí eacnamaíocha a ghabhann le ballraíocht san Aontas

Tá bearta déanta ag FPEnna chun cabhrú le tíortha AE a leasanna a chosaint in éadan dúmhál geilleagrach agus tionchair a shaobhann an margadh ó thríú tíortha. Bíonn ar stáit AE dul i ngleic uaireanta le bearta comhéigneacha ó thíortha lasmuigh den Aontas atá míshona faoina seasamh maidir le beartais áirithe. San am céanna, féadann fóirdheontais eachtracha an bonn a bhaint de phrionsabail an mhachaire réidhe sa mhargadh Eorpach aonair. Cuir tuilleadh eolais ar an ionstraim frith-chomhéigin agus ar an Rialachán maidir le Fóirdheontais Eachtracha.

Geilleagar AE a chosaint ar thionchar éagórach ón taobh amuigh

Ó fhóin chliste go cathracha cliste, tá sonraí á nginiúint i gcónaí ag oibiachtaí ceangailte. Is mian le Parlaimint na hEorpa a chumas a scaoileadh amach. Tá sonraí riachtanach don nuálaíocht in earnálacha na teicneolaíochta, na sláinte, an iompair agus na feirmeoireachta. Tá imní ar Fheisirí na Parlaiminte go bhfuil an iomarca sonraí nár baineadh leas astu fós i lámh na n-ollchuideachtaí teicneolaíochta. Tá rialacha nua uathu a chabhróidh le cuideachtaí beaga agus le comhlachtaí poiblí táirgí agus seirbhísí níos fearr a chur ar fáil. Cuirfidh an tAcht Sonraí creat ar fáil do gheilleagar an lae amárach.
