Futures lower; Tesla’s much-anticipated announcement - what’s moving markets
Investing.com -- Zalando announced Wednesday it will appeal a ruling by the EU’s General Court that dismissed its challenge against being designated under landmark EU tech rules.
The Luxembourg-based court, which is Europe’s second-highest, sided with the European Commission in its decision to label Europe’s biggest online retail company as a very large online platform (VLOP) under the Digital Services Act. This designation subjects Zalando to stricter requirements.
In a statement explaining its decision to appeal, Zalando argued that its "highly curated business model does not present a ’systemic risk’ of disseminating harmful or illegal content from third parties, as presumed for VLOPs."
The company’s appeal will continue its effort to be excluded from the more stringent regulatory framework that applies to platforms designated as VLOPs under EU digital regulations.
