[Brussels, 17 April] We welcome today’s endorsement by the European Parliament of the interinstitutional agreement on fairness and transparency in platform-to-business relations.

Benedikt Blomeyer, Manager European Affairs at Allied for Startups, said “The diversity of the platform economy was largely taken into account in the final text and we are pleased that the negotiators have pursued a principle-based approach. This will improve the functioning of the Digital Single Market and help over 3700 startups in the platform economy to provide better products and services”.

We would like to thank the teams within Presidencies, Council, Parliament and Commission who worked hard to strike a balance on this file.
