Regulation (EU) 2019/1150 on promoting fairness and transparency for business users of online intermediation services (P2B Regulation) is a new set of EU rules designed to create a fair, transparent and predictable business environment for companies and resellers using online services (online platforms) to reach their customers.
The P2B Regulation sets out a number of requirements, including the requirement that online platforms, in their terms and conditions, must designate two or more mediators that the platform is willing to use for conflict resolution between them and the business users utilizing ther intermediation services.
However, it can be an advantage to use a mediation provider giving access to a larger range of mediators, a greater breadth of areas of expertise and a greater flexibility in relation to the practical conduct of the mediations.
