Report on Article 33 DSA and Legal Interactions

Report from the Commission to the European Parliament, the Council and the European Economic and Social Committee on the application of Article 33 of Regulation (EU) 2022/2065 and the interaction of that Regulation with other legal acts

This report outlines the European Commission's evaluation of the application of Article 33 of the Digital Services Act (DSA), particularly the designation and scope of very large online platforms (VLOPs) and search engines (VLOSEs), and their due diligence obligations. It also examines how the DSA interacts with other EU legal acts, identifying both complementary and overlapping areas. The report confirms the current thresholds and definitions under the DSA are effective but acknowledges increasing legal complexity and proposes stronger coordination and simplification efforts in future reviews.
