on behalf of the following EUTA marketplaces
We are pleased to invite you to participate in an online workshop which will be held on the 16th of November 2021 at 16:00 and will last around one hour and a half.
In December 2020, the European Commission proposed an ambitious reform of the digital space which included a comprehensive set of new rules for all digital services, including online marketplaces and other online platforms that operate in the European Union.
With the Digital Services Act (DSA), the European Commission aims to create a modern rulebook across the single market which shall increase online safety of European consumers.
This workshop is a timely opportunity to discuss the question of how to balance obligations for online platforms to achieve the legislative goal and at the same time not to impede the competitiveness of European players on the digital single market.
To guarantee the right choice of products and services for European consumers it is necessary to discuss how European e-commerce platforms will operate in the foreseeable future, with special regard to the questions of their liability exemption, Know Your Business Customer (KYBC) obligations and the online marketplace definition.
