DSA Representative
List Of Requirements
Are you providing digital services in the EU? You may need to appoint a DSA Representative to ensure compliance!
As a representative under Article 13 of the Digital Services Act (DSA), we represent intermediary service providers who are not established in the European Union but who offer their services in the EU, and handle communication and coordination with the competent authorities, the European Commission and the European Board for Digital Services to ensure compliance with the provisions of the DSA.
The obligation to appoint a legal representative in the European Union has come into force on 17 February 2024. After this date, failure to appoint a legal representative will be considered a breach of the DSA.
Our service is essential for communicating with Member State authorities, the Commission and the European Digital Services Board to ensure your compliance with enforcement decisions.
