EU Regulation n°2019/1150 “Platform to business”: publication of guidelines by the European Commission

The European Commission has published guidelines relating to EU Regulation No. 2019/1150 “Platform to business”.

The regulation, directly applicable in the EU since July 12, 2020, regulates the contractual relationship between online intermediation services (website allowing third parties to offer content, services or a sales space, such as marketplaces, Airbnb, Blablacar, etc.) and professional users.

In particular, the regulation imposes minimum obligations concerning pre-contractual information, the procedures for termination or suspension of intermediation services, and the communication of the criteria for classifying offers and content by the platforms.

The guidelines specify these obligations of transparency concerning the criteria for classifying content and in particular the effects of any remuneration on this classification.
