From a sustainability point of view, the EU’s proposals are also very welcome and are supported by us.

Digital Fairness Actfiled 24 Oct 2025PDFsource

Customers’ trust has always been important for online and distance trading. In principle, companies have a strong interest in making the shopping experience as transparent and positive as possible for customers so that they do not switch to competition. This automatically leads to consumer-friendly behaviour on the part of businesses.

Simplification of some requirements and reduction of administrative burden in the areas of batteries and industrial emissions reporting (Omnibus VIII on environmental legislation)filed 7 May 2026PDFsource

As stakeholders in German online and mail-order sales, we fundamentally welcome the European Commission’s objective of simplifying existing environmental legislation, making it more efficient and improving its enforceability. The EU environment omnibus is an opportunity to reduce existing regulatory burdens, ensure coherence between different pieces of legislation and strengthen the functioning of the single market.

Digital Fitness Checkfiled 11 Mar 2026PDFsource

The European digital legal framework has evolved steadily in recent years. Harmonising key rules has helped facilitate cross-border online trade and boosted consumer trust in digital offers. At the same time, practical implementation shows that the Digital Single Market is not yet complete. For example, there are some inconsistencies between different legal acts.

Discontinuation of the European ODR Platformfiled 22 Dec 2023PDFsource

We would like to thank you for the opportunity to comment on the revision of the ADR framework. Online traders are already very customer-centred. In other words, they place customers at the centre of their efforts to provide the best possible service. Should complaints arise, traders have an interest in resolving them as quickly as possible and in a customer-friendly manner, and in many cases they are very culinary.
