Developers Alliance feedback on the inception impact assessments (IIAs) for the Digital Services Act Package

The Platform-to-Business Regulation (EU) 2019/1150 already responds to issues faced by
developers and other small businesses in the online platform environment. It provides them not
only much needed transparency, but requires online intermediaries services to engage in fair
commercial practices (e.g. notice periods, specific contractual terms, internal complaint
systems). There is no evidence to show a drastic change is required before seeing the effects of
the P2B regulation. Beyond this, current studies and investigations by competition authorities
are already addressing specific complaints that relate to the issues mentioned by the IIA.
