The Online Intermediation Services for Business Users (Amendment) (EU Exit) Regulations 2020

This instrument is required to help ensure that the UK has a functioning statute book at the end of the Transition Period. Under section 3 of the European Union (Withdrawal) Act 2018 (“the Withdrawal Act 2018”), directly effective EU legislation will be retained in UK law at the end of the Transition Period. This instrument makes amendments to the retained version of Regulation 2019/1150 of the European Parliament and of the Council of 20 June 2019 on promoting fairness and transparency for business users of online intermediation services (“the Online Intermediation Services Regulation”) to ensure that it functions correctly in domestic law at the end of the Transition Period.
