SHORT JUSTIFICATION

On 17 October 2023, the Commission submitted the proposal for a Regulation repealing Regulation (EU) No 524/2013 and amending Regulations (EU) 2017/2394 and (EU) 2018/1724 with regards to the discontinuation of the European ODR Platform to the Council and the European Parliament. On 13 March 2024, the European Parliament adopted its first reading position, without amending the Commission proposal.

Since the Council’s first reading position adopted on 19 November 2024 does not amend the Commission proposal either and, consequently, is in line with the European Parliament’s position, including also the changes resulting from the legal-linguistic revision, the rapporteur recommends that it be endorsed by the European Parliament without amendments, so that the Regulation can be adopted swiftly and enter into force as soon as possible.
