Ars Boni 431 Flop VLOP? (Aurelie Caulier, Zalando)
One of the new features introduced by the Digital Services Act (DSA) is an extensive list of additional obligations for Very LargeOnline Platforms (VLOPs). The Commission presented a first list of VLOPs recently, with ZALANDO being on the list. Zalando has filed a legal claim at the Court of Justice of the European Union to contest its designation by the European Commission as a “Very Large Online Platform” (VLOP). We are speaking with Aurélie Caulier, Head of EU Public Affairs bei Zalando, about this matter.
