Question

Must Regulation 2019/1150 be interpreted as justifying the adoption of measures by a Member State under which, on pain of penalties, providers of online intermediation services are subject, with a view to providing their services in that Member State, to the obligation to send periodically to an authority of that Member State a document relating to their economic situation, in which it is necessary to set out a large amount of information relating, in particular, to the revenues of those service providers?

Ruling 

Regulation 2019/1150 must be interpreted as meaning that it does not justify, with a view to the adequate and effective implementation of that regulation, the adoption of measures by a Member State under which, on pain of penalties, providers of online intermediation services are subject, with a view to providing their services in that Member State, to the obligation to send periodically to an authority of that Member State a document relating to their economic situation, in which it is necessary to set out a large amount of information relating, in particular, to the revenues of those service providers.
