Workshop 2: Online marketplaces in the DSA - making shopping online safer

This workshop will focus on analysing the practical side and applicability of the provision aimed at tackling the sale and promotion of illegal products, especially counterfeited products and unsafe/illegal goods and services on online marketplaces.

It will focus on the new requirement for online marketplaces to verify the identity of their business users offering goods for sale on their services - the Know-Your-Business-Customer obligation - and implementation of the compliance by design provisions, enabling traders to comply with their obligations as regards pre-contractual information and EU product safety rules.

It will also focus on the additional duty of care placed on online marketplaces to make reasonable efforts to prevent illegal products from appearing on their services, including though random checks on whether products have been identified as illegal in official available databases.
