Highlights - Fairness and transparency for business users of online intermediation services - Committee on the Internal Market and Consumer Protection

On 24.09 IMCO Members will consider the draft report on Fairness and transparency for business users of online intermediation services, one of the most important ongoing pieces of legislation for the completion of the Digital Single Market. The focus of the draft report is to promote transparency and fairness in the platform to business relationships, bearing in mind the increasingly important role of online platforms as vehicles for market access.

The report also aims at ensuring consumer's choice and consumer's welfare in the platform economy, provide opportunities and ensuring a level playing field for all actors, as well as to avoid abuses in the use of mediation mechanisms, and tackling fragmentation in the internal market.
