# Recital 18 DMA

Official Journal text of 12 October 2022. Retrieved 30 October 2026.

## Official text

Whereas a market capitalisation at or above the threshold in the last financial year should give rise to a presumption that an undertaking providing core platform services has a significant impact on the internal market, a sustained market capitalisation of the undertaking providing core platform services at or above the threshold over three or more years should be considered as further strengthening that presumption.
