Summary

Among the most important changes in the bill, the Consumer Protection and Technical Supervision Agency is appointed to supervise online mediation service providers and search engines. The draft specifies the penalty and fine rates for non-fulfilment of prescriptions and obligations. Provision is made for the obligation to publish the VAT number for those information society service providers whose activities are subject to VAT. Web-based intermediary services include information society services that enable business users to offer goods and services to consumers and facilitate the initiation of direct transactions. In the European Union, the goal is to ensure a fair and reliable web-based business environment operating on a uniform basis throughout the internal market of the European Union. Information society services, including online mediation services and search engines, are in business and commerce important. Information society services enable new business models, innovation, provide access to new markets and business opportunities. But the platform economy also brings problems that need to be solved to ensure legal certainty. The amendments to the bill ensure the proper and effective implementation of the EU platform regulation and the e-commerce directive of the European Parliament and the Council in Estonia.
