14. Jan 2022 New obligation for a cancel button in online portals E-Commerce

From July 2022, traders will have to offer consumers a termination button on their online portals and make further adjustments, including, for example, the immediate and therefore probably automated calculation of the date on which the termination occurs.

The regulation is due to come into force at the end of 2022 - according to the EU Commission's plan. However, the EU Parliament and the Council still need to be involved beforehand.
