Watch our full explainer video about how a broader Know Your Business Customer provision can ensure better online safety, #trust, and #transparency for all #EUconsumers in the #DSA

[Creativity Works! @CreativityW]

With the DSA having been formally endorsed, we recognise that the #DSA takes some steps towards fighting against illegal content online while improving consumer protection. However, it is still a missed opportunity to ensure that illegal content is swiftly and permanently removed

[KYBC EU @kybcEU]

Thank you @sabineverheyen for your outstanding work on the #DSA. We echo your views that #KYBC needs to be broader and look forward to working with you to make this a reality at the earliest opportunity

TAC welcomes the EP's #DSA adoption. However, it's only a 1st step in the right direction of the fight vs online #counterfeiting

👉Rightsholders call on COM to complement the DSA w new targeted & mandatory initiatives in 🇪🇺, starting w @EU_Growth's Anti-Counterfeiting Toolbox ‼️

[KYBC EU @kybcEU]

Sadly fakes are not confined to online marketplaces but the new EU rules on verifying sellers ARE. So they will only fix a small part of the problem. We need verification rules extended to ALL online intermediaries. After today's vote we must build on DSA with NIS2 #KYBC

[EPP Group @EPPGroup]

Did you ever order something nice online, but received a fake? 😬

We must put a stop to that.

🛒 With new EU rules, from next year, online platforms must verify their sellers to prevent online shopping product #fraud.

Yes @ThierryBreton we DO need to build on the #DSA. Counterfeiting is not limited to online marketplaces so why limit KYBC? We need #KYBC for ALL intermediaries so consumers have complete trust and protection from illegal activity wherever they go online.

[Thierry Breton @ThierryBreton]

Many ideas at today’s roundtable from brands, platforms, logistics, payment services, consumers to boost the fight against #counterfeiting.

A🇪🇺 toolbox — building on #DSA, NIS2, #blockchain, custom controls — to protect:

✔️Consumers
✔️Supply chains
✔️Innovation

[KYBC EU @kybcEU]

Congratulations @SchaldemoseMEP and @EP_SingleMarket on the #DSA vote
Yes we are ���one step closer’ to a safer online experience for users - but we are NOT there yet. A trustful online environment needs #KYBC for ALL intermediaries.

[IMCO Committee Press @EP_SingleMarket]

ADOPTED ✅ @EP_SingleMarket approved the #DSA provisional agreement with 36➕/5➖/1⚫️

Next step ➡️ vote in July #EPlenary

Press release coming shortly ⤵️

[Together Against Counterfeiting Alliance @TACAlliance]

#Counterfeiting affects all kinds of products: health, toys, fashion, electronics, sporting goods, spare parts, chemicals, tech...
👉Consumers who are misled into buying counterfeits face serious health risks, on top of being scammed for money🧑‍⚕️

[Together Against Counterfeiting Alliance @TACAlliance]

Happy #EuropeDay !

🇪🇺 can be a 🌍 leader in creating standards in the fight vs #counterfeiting, particularly online. The #DSA is 1 step in this direction, but additional targeted & mandatory initiatives are needed to efficiently tackle the phenomenon

[Together Against Counterfeiting Alliance @TACAlliance]

🧐DYK that 75,3% of #counterfeit perfumes & cosmetics detained by customs authorities in 🇪🇺 are linked to online sales ?

That's why we call for strong obligations in #DSA for online intermediaries to proactively fight the appearance & dissemination of counterfeits

@OECD @EU_IPO

[Together Against Counterfeiting Alliance @TACAlliance]

Social media is ↗️ facilitating online #counterfeiting. Together with actors such as advertising platforms, search engines & livestreaming apps, it allows fraudulent sellers to reach online users & facilitates sales.
👉That's why we call for a wide scope of #DSA obligations

[Together Against Counterfeiting Alliance @TACAlliance]

The #DSA is a chance for 🇪🇺 to create a gold-standard for what is illegal offline to be illegal online
👉This should also mean reinforcing the fight vs online #counterfeiting, a ↗️ phenomenon that harms consumers' safety, brands, jobs, the economy & environment
@SchaldemoseMEP

[KYBC EU @kybcEU]

Good luck with the #DSA talks, which could be a first step towards ensuring a safe online environment. Broad #KYBC obligations would guarantee that what is illegal offline, should be illegal online. @SchaldemoseMEP

[Margrethe Vestager @vestager]

Arrived and ready for the negotiation on the #DSA today! We may take a big step today for a safe and accountable online environment: What is illegal offline, should also be seen and treated as illegal online! #bridgebuilding

[Together Against Counterfeiting Alliance @TACAlliance]

TAC urges #DSA negotiators not to choose expediency over quality: for what is illegal offline to be illegal online, a number of steps still need to be taken. In the fight vs online #counterfeiting, this means first & foremost:
👉↗️ #KYBC's scope
👉Brands as trusted flaggers

[European Brands Association @AIMbrands]

Ahead of tomorrow’s #DSA trilogue, we urge EU negotiators to:

1️⃣ Extend #KYBC to all platforms promoting & facilitating the sale of goods
2️⃣ Enable brands to apply for #TrustedFlaggers status
3️⃣ Impose a #StayDown obligation on hosting providers
4️⃣ Exempt micro platforms only

[Together Against Counterfeiting Alliance @TACAlliance]

Ahead of tomorrow's #DSA trilogue, we have 2 key asks to improve the fight vs online #counterfeiting:
1⃣Extend KYBC's scope to all platforms that facilitate & promote the sale of goods 👉it's not just marketplaces!
2⃣Incl brands in trusted flaggers' def👉they know their IP best!

[Together Against Counterfeiting Alliance @TACAlliance]

���Such a limited #KYBC scope will ↗️counterfeits' shift from marketplaces to other types of platforms
👉Online counterfeiting will keep ↗️, threatening consumers' health, 🇪🇺's economy & jobs, brands' reputation & revenue... All things that the EPP has long fought to support!

[Together Against Counterfeiting Alliance @TACAlliance]

@EPPGroup must defend a broader #KYBC scope in Friday's #DSA trilogue. Why?
👉It was the group's initial stance
👉It has been defended in @sabineverheyen & @GeoffroyDidier's opinions
👉Online #counterfeiting is ↗️ taking place beyond marketplaces (social media, ads platforms)

[Umberto GAMBINI 🇪🇺🏴󠁧󠁢󠁳󠁣󠁴󠁿🇪🇺🇮🇹🇪🇺 @UGambini]

“Presidency proposes to impose an obligation of reasonable means to providers of online #marketplaces so that they carry out random checks on the #legality of the products and services they offer,” reads the text”

@CreativityW @kybcEU @StephaniePochon

[Creativity Works! @CreativityW]

We call on the institutions to work on new options for #searchEngines to amplify their role in the goal for a safer #online experience.
