The Digital Services Act (DSA) provides harmonised rules for a safe, predictable and trusted online environment when interacting with so-called ‘intermediary services’, which includes e.g. online platforms, hosting services or search engines.
The DSA has fully applied since 17 February 2024, with the exception of VLOPs and VLOSEs, who became subject to the DSA in August 2023.
Article 55 DSA requires every national Digital Services Coordinator (DSC) to publish an annual report detailing its activities during the past year. The report must include information on complaints received under Article 53 and more specific information such as the number and types of orders to act against illegal content or orders to provide information that were issued by national judicial or administrative authorities in the relevant Member State, according to Articles 9 and 10 of the DSA. The report should also include information on the actions taken in response to these orders, as communicated back to the DSCs.
As the DSC for Luxembourg, the Competition Authority of Luxembourg shares its report with the European Commission and the European Board for Digital Services.
