07:18 AM EDT, 09/10/2025 (MT Newswires) -- Meta Platforms ( META ) and TikTok on Wednesday won a legal challenge against the European Commission over how supervisory fees were calculated under the Digital Services Act, but the companies will not receive refunds for fees already paid.

In its rulings, the EU's General Court annulled the Commission's implementing decisions that established the fee calculation methodology.

The Luxembourg-based court determined that the European Commission should have adopted the fee methodology through a delegated act, rather than an implementing decision, as required by the DSA's legal framework.

However, the court ruled that Meta and TikTok must continue to pay the 2023 fees already assessed, at least until a corrected framework is in place, adding that the companies will not receive a refund for the 2023 fees already paid.

EU regulators have been given 12 months to revise the methodology using the appropriate legal procedure, it added.
