Commission launches consultation on EU Geo-blocking Regulation evaluation

The European Commission is carrying out an evaluation on Regulation (EU) 2018/302 (Geo-blocking Regulation) and has launched a public consultation on this evaluation. The aim of the Geo-blocking Regulation is to prevent unjustified geo-blocking, ie practices where traders operating in one Member State block or limit access to their online interfaces, such as websites and apps, or apply different general conditions of access to their goods and services with respect to customers from other Member States wishing to engage in cross-border transactions, and other forms of discrimination. The consultation is intended to evaluate how the Regulation has been implemented, applied and enforced since its entry into force. The evaluation will examine issues including territorial supply restrictions and access to copyright-protected content across borders. The feedback will contribute to the European Commission’s assessment and inform potential future policy decisions. The consultation is open until 29 December 2026.
