Recital 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, 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 are maintained.
