Here, the definitions are in Article 2, plus some others that are taken from other sources (e.g. the Electronic Communications Code 2018/1972 for "number-independent interpersonal communication service"). In the end, "core platform services" are the (exhaustive - expanding it will require another law) list of services that are regulated by the DMA and that generally constitute the main service of a platform product (e.g. video sharing for Youtube, search for Google, social media for Facebook...), while "ancillary services" are horizontal, cross-product support services that each platform generally provides throughout their products; here the list is non-exhaustive and there is a general definition in 2(14), which however also specifies a few things that definitely fall within the definition, i.e. payments, including in-app, identification, advertising and fulfilment (product/parcel delivery). -- Vittorio Bertola | Head of Policy & Innovation, Open-Xchange vittorio.bertola@open-xchange.com mailto:vittorio.bertola@open-xchange.com Office @ Via Treviso 12, 10144 Torino, Italy
