Objectives of the public consultation
In its Communication on a Digital Single Market Strategy for Europe adopted on the 6th of May 2015, the Commission committed to undertake a comprehensive assessment on the role of platforms, covering the social and economic role of online platforms, transparency (e.g. in search results), terms of use, ratings and reviews, the use of information by platforms, the relation between platforms and their suppliers, the conditions of switching between comparable services offered by platforms, and the role of online intermediaries, including ways to tackle illegal content on the Internet. The strategy also includes initiatives on data – a free flow of data initiative and a European Cloud initiative.

The DSM also announces that the wider issue of the collaborative economy will be addressed both under its remit and in the forthcoming Internal Market Strategy.

With the present public consultation the Commission services now seek the views of stakeholders on specific issues related to the issues above.
