Discontinuation of the European ODR Platform

The Committee on the Internal Market and Consumer Protection adopted the report by Laura BALLARÍN CEREZA (S&D, ES) on the proposal for a regulation of the European Parliament and of the Council repealing Regulation (EU) No 524/2013 and amending Regulations (EU) 2017/2394 and (EU) 2018/1724 with regards to the discontinuation of the European ODR Platform.

The committee responsible recommended that the European Parliament adopt its position at first reading taking over the Commission's proposal.

The proposal aims to repeal the Regulation setting up the European Online Dispute Resolution (ODR) Platform, thus discontinuing the ODR platform and remove the obligation on the online businesses to provide a link to the ODR platform and manage an email for communication.
