Article 70 Mesures provisoires


Summary What does Article 70 of the DSA regulation say?

This article grants the Commission a specific emergency power to act quickly during active non-compliance proceedings against providers of very large online platforms or very large online search engines.

Rather than waiting for a full non-compliance decision under Article 73, the Commission can step in with interim measures if there is urgency due to the risk of serious damage to recipients of the service.

This is a targeted, time-limited tool that sits within the broader enforcement framework against these large providers.

Important points:

  • The Commission may order interim measures against providers of very large online platforms or very large online search engines before a final non-compliance decision is reached.
  • The power is only triggered where there is urgency due to the risk of serious damage for recipients of the service, based on a prima facie finding of an infringement.
  • Any such interim decision applies for a specified period of time but can be renewed where necessary and appropriate.

Springlex's summary of the article is a reading aid, not a substitute for the legal text.

    1. Dans le contexte des procédures susceptibles de mener à l’adoption d’une décision constatant un manquement en application de l’article 73, paragraphe 1, en cas d’urgence justifiée par le fait qu’un préjudice grave risque d’être causé aux destinataires du service, la Commission peut, par voie de décision, ordonner des mesures provisoires à l’encontre du fournisseur de la très grande plateforme en ligne ou du très grand moteur de recherche en ligne concerné sur la base d’un constat prima facie d’infraction.

    1. Une décision prise en vertu du paragraphe 1 est applicable pour une durée déterminée et est renouvelable dans la mesure où cela est nécessaire et opportun.
