European Agenda for the collaborative economy

This initiative explores the growth of the 'sharing economy,' where digital platforms enable people and businesses to share, rent, or exchange assets and services. It aims to ensure that these new business models foster innovation and economic growth while remaining compatible with EU laws and consumer protections.

The procedure primarily affects digital platform operators, freelancers, and small businesses. It seeks to balance the flexibility of the collaborative economy with fair competition and the protection of workers' rights.
