Article 1 Subject matter and scope
Summary What does Article 1 of the Conduct of certain Commission proceedings say?
This is the foundational scope article of the Regulation, setting out its two core purposes.
It establishes that the Regulation exists to provide practical arrangements for two distinct areas governed by the Digital Services Act (Regulation (EU) 2022/2065): the conduct of inspections and monitoring actions, and the procedural rights of parties under investigation, specifically the right to be heard and the terms under which information may be disclosed.
In essence, this article tells the reader what the rest of the Regulation is for and anchors it directly to the parent legislation.
Important points:
- This Regulation directly implements and operationalises specific procedural provisions of the Digital Services Act (Regulation (EU) 2022/2065), namely Articles 69, 72, and 79.
- The Regulation covers two distinct areas: the practical conduct of inspections and monitoring actions by the Commission, and the procedural rights of parties being investigated.
- This article sets the scope for the entire Regulation, meaning all subsequent articles fall within these two defined purposes.
