The Fair Trade Commission is focusing on preventing the’online platform’ from becoming a major task this year.
The FTC decided to initiate the’Online Platform Fairness Act’ this month in order to prevent platform operators such as delivery apps from being knocked out of stores, and the FTC’s movement to improve the GapEul relationship is spreading to the online area.
In fact, it can be interpreted that the Fair Trade Commission has decided to jurisdiction over the regulations that block platform operators from’gum-jil’ against vendors. It is noted how the regulation will be realized.
An online platform fairness bill will be submitted to the National Assembly next week, which will impose penalties equal to twice the amount of violations of the law if the platform engages in unfair acts against a store company. It is also the first blueprint for digital fair economy measures.
A total amendment to the E-Commerce Act is also coming out, governing the behavior of online platforms mocking consumers.
On the 22nd, the Fair Trade Commission announced a work plan for 2021 containing these details. The FTC submits the enactment of the online platform fairness law to the National Assembly next week.
The key is to include in the contract whether or not to limit entry to a competitive platform, etc., incurring a penalty for double the amount of violation of the law if a company enters a store.
Open markets such as Coupang and Gmarket, Delivery apps such as People of Delivery and Yogiyo, App Market, accommodation apps such as Yanolja, boarding brokerage apps, price comparison sites, information provision services such as real estate and used cars, Naver Kakao Google, etc. All portals that provide’advertising services’ are also subject to regulation.
A bill that completely revised the Electronic Commerce Act enacted in 2002 will also be announced as early as this month.
Because the platform is an intermediary, various responsibilities are handed over to the participating companies, and consumer damage is improved.
Open market companies sell products directly beyond the brokerage business, but they are classified as’mail-order brokers’ under the current e-commerce law.
It also contains measures to transparently inform general consumers of standards that do not know exactly what exposure ranking, such as’Naver ranking order’.
It is expected that a separate icon will reveal whether the standard of’popularity’ is based on sales, and if it is based on sales, then whether the result is based on one-week or one-month performance.
In order to protect those who wish to start a franchise, the enforcement ordinance is amended to include the online sales share and supply price of the franchise headquarters in the information disclosure form. If the franchise headquarters increases online sales and the franchisee’s sales decrease, the standard franchise contract is also changed so that the business can be closed without paying a penalty.
It also protects platform workers such as parcel delivery, delivery, and agent.
It checks the practices of unfair trade between courier companies and agencies, agencies and courier drivers, and also examines the actual status of transactions between delivery agency platforms and local branches, and between local branches and delivery drivers. The’Standard Terms and Conditions of Car Rental’ will be amended so that the agency driver can escape from the claim for reimbursement to ask for money in the event of an accident while driving a rental car.
In the first half of this year, the’Guidelines for Examining Single Behaviors in the Online Platform Field’ was established to clarify the criteria for judging the violation of the law by platform operators.
