I move amendment No. 114:

In page 89, between lines 9 and 10, to insert the following: “and shall give the provider an opportunity to make representations in writing to the Commission on the report within such period as the Commission specifies.”

This amendment would require an coimisiún to provide an opportunity for designated online platforms to make submissions in respect of an audit report prior to its publication. To clarify, it would not change the outcome of an audit report and the comments made by the designated online platform in question may also be published alongside the audit report. These provisions mirror similar requirements under the provisions for reports by authorised officers and are a key due process requirement.
