BRUSSELS (BELGIUM) (ITALPRESS) – The European Court of Justice rejected Amazon’s appeal against the EU Commission’s decision to define Amazon Store as a large online platform. The definition remains valid under the Digital Services Act (Dsa), which imposes certain obligations on such designated suppliers.
The appeal had been filed by the company Amazon EU Sàrl, objecting that the Commission’s decision was against the EU’s Charter of Fundamental Rights, beginning with what protects business freedom. As regards this point, the European Court has now specified that the obligations under the DSA do not affect the substance of that right. Another point raised by Amazon was the right of ownership. In this case, the Court pointed out that the DSA essentially provides for administrative obligations which do not affect the property itself. According to the definition of the European commission, an online platform of “very large dimensions” is what, as a number of users, exceeds 10% of the total population of the Union, equal to 45 million units.
