Source Council, 22 October 2026. Recital 59: ST 14756/26, page 58 · exact text page

Regulation (EU) 2019/1150 establishes a targeted set of mandatory rules at Union level to ensure a fair, predictable, sustainable and trusted online business environment within the internal market. Regulation (EU) 2022/2065 and Regulation (EU) 2022/1925 provide a comprehensive regulatory framework for a safe, predictable and trusted online environments for all end-users of online services, and establish a level playing field for businesses in digital markets. In the interest of simplification of Union legislation in the field of online intermediation services and online platforms, and given that the objectives and material provisions of the Platform-to-Business Regulation are largely covered by the Digital Services Act and the Digital Markets Act, several provisions of Regulation (EU) 2019/1150 should be deleted. Regulation (EU) 2022/2065 and Regulation (EU) 2022/1925 contribute to a fully harmonised regulatory framework for digital services and digital markets, by approximating national measures concerning the requirements for providers of intermediary services and the contestability and fairness of core platforms services provided by gatekeepers. For purposes of legal certainty and for purposes of keeping the necessary level of protection for business users, selected definitions in Article 2, provisions on terms and conditions in Article 3, on restrictions and suspensions in Article 4, on ranking in Article 5, and on differentiated treatment in Article 7, on the internal complaint-handling system in Article 11, as well as provisions in Article 15 ensuring enforcement and in Article 18(1) mandating the Commission to evaluate that Regulation are maintained.

Under no circumstance should such measures lead to deregulation of existing protections under EU law. Nonetheless, streamlined enforcement of these legal instruments is key and remains a challenge.

    (59) Regulation (EU) 2019/1150 establishes a targeted set of mandatory rules at Union level to ensure a fair, predictable, sustainable and trusted online business environment within the internal market. Regulation (EU) 2022/2065 and Regulation (EU) 2022/1925 provide a comprehensive regulatory framework for a safe, predictable and trusted online environments for all end-users of online services, and establish a level playing field for businesses in digital markets. In the interest of simplification of Union legislation in the field of online intermediation services and online platforms, and given that the objectives and material provisions of the Platform-to-Business Regulation are largely covered by the Digital Services Act and the Digital Markets Act, Regulation (EU) 2019/1050 should be repealed.(EU) 2019/1150 should be maintained. That Regulation protects business users of online intermediation services against unilateral practices, in particular through requirements relating to notice periods for changes to terms and conditions, the statement of reasons for restrictions, suspensions and terminations, transparency of ranking, and access to an internal complaint-handling system. Those protections are not substituted by Regulation (EU) 2022/2065, which pursues a different objective and protects recipients of the service, nor by Regulation (EU) 2022/1925, which applies only to undertakings designated as gatekeepers. A large number of online intermediation services on which micro, small and medium-sized enterprises depend fall within neither of those categories. Its repeal would therefore deprive those enterprises of their only source of protection against unilateral practices, without any equivalent safeguard. Regulation (EU) 2022/2065 and Regulation (EU) 2022/1925 contribute to a fully harmonised regulatory framework for digital services and digital markets, by approximating national measures concerning the requirements for providers of intermediary services and the contestability and fairness of core platforms services provided by gatekeepers. For purposes of legal certainty, selected definitions in Article 2, the provisions on restrictions and suspensions in Article 4, as well as on the internal complaint-handling system in Article 11 of Regulation (EU) 2019/1150 that are cross-referenced by other legal acts, in particular Directive (EU) 2023/2831 on improving working conditions in platform work, and Article 15 ensuring enforcement, will temporarily remain in application until the original acts are amended.
