品玩 7 月 29 日讯，据 EuroNews 报道，欧盟委员会正在考虑设立一个新的董事会，该董事会可能由两名反垄断高级官员领导，旨在执行严厉的新规定从而限制大型科技公司的权力。此前外界担忧欧盟竞争监管机构可能难以让 Alphabet 旗下谷歌公司、亚马逊、苹果、Meta 和微软等科技巨头遵守《数字市场法案》(Digital Markets Act)。设立新董事会可能会缓解外界这一担忧。这项具有里程碑意义的规定于今年 3 月达成，将于明年生效。他们将禁止这些公司将自己的产品设置为优先选项、迫使应用程序开发者使用他们的支付系统，并利用用户数据来推动竞争服务。据报道，欧盟委员会反垄断部门的新董事会可能由信息、通信和媒体主管 Alberto Bacchiega 领导，负责涉及科技、媒体和消费电子行业的反垄断和并购案件。Bacchiega 还可能得到电子商务和数据经济反垄断案件部门主管 Thomas Kramler 的协助，该部门目前正牵头调查苹果和亚马逊。据报道，这两位官员已经与欧盟委员会通信网络、内容和技术总局的官员保持联系，该局将共同执行《数字市场法案》。
