Mr. Wayne Moroney:

There are two parts to this around sellers or marketplaces and advertising. The DSA has different authority so we are the main authority for the digital services co-ordinator, but when it comes to marketplaces and those engaging in the sale of products to users, the CCPC is the authority responsible for those. However, a marketplace is still covered by the rest of the DSA - by us - so there are other concerns there. Even when they are in a marketplace, they are responsible under the obligations under the DSA and can be captured either by us for general activity or by the CCPC when selling a product. There are advertising obligations if they are advertising a product or service either on their own platform or somewhere else and these come on under Article 26 across all online platforms and Article 39 for advertising on very large online platforms. Those have the same obligations for all services, which involves transparency. Users must know that what they are seeing is an ad and they must know who paid for that ad and why they are seeing that ad. That transparency gives a bit of power back to the user and places an equal amount of obligation on all the services to collect that information from the seller in that case to provide it to the user.
