EU Regulation No. 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, governs the contractual relationship between online intermediation services (websites allowing third parties to offer content, services or a sales space, such as marketplaces, Airbnb, Blablacar, etc.) and professional users.

The regulation imposes, in particular, minimum obligations regarding pre-contractual information, the terms of termination or suspension of intermediation services, and the communication of criteria for classifying offers and content by platforms.

The guidelines clarify these transparency obligations regarding content classification criteria and, in particular, the effects of any remuneration on this classification.
