Entry into force:

·        The law is effective from January 1, 2023 for economic operators.

·        Reporting platform operators must comply with the first reporting obligation by January 31, 2024.

Fines: Total or partial noncompliance with the obligations established in this law may result in fines ranging from €250 to €22,500, depending on the nature and seriousness of the offense.
