Last December 3rd, 2018, came into force the new
Regulation (EU) 2018/302 that amends Regulation (EC) No. 2006/2004
and (EU) 2017/2394 and Directive 2009/22/EC on addressing
unjustified geo-blocking and other forms of discrimination based on
customers' nationality, place of residence or place of
establishment within the internal market.
The Regulation (EU) 2018/302 foresees the obligation to offer
the same treatment to all EU customers (including consumers and
other final customers) when they are in the same situation, without
taking into consideration their nationality, place of residence or
place of establishment.
In order to do so, the Regulation adopts specific measures
against unjustified geo-blocking through the elimination of
specific barriers to the functioning of the internal market,
specifically related with the access to online interfaces, with the
access to products and services and with the non-discrimination for
reasons related to the payment.
