On April 11, 2025, the law outlining the powers and procedures of the Luxembourg competition authority came into effect. This new legislation empowers the authority to handle complaints related to the Digital Services Act (DSA), request information from online platform providers, conduct inspections, and impose sanctions.

In cases of violations, the authority can impose fines of up to 6% of the global annual revenue of the concerned platform provider. As the Digital Services Coordinator (DSC), the authority will ensure that online platforms based in Luxembourg allow users to report potentially illegal content, refrain from targeting minors with advertisements, and transparently inform users about the reasons behind content suggestions, including recommendations, ads, and sponsored results.

The authority will coordinate the enforcement of the DSA in collaboration with other national authorities responsible for internet oversight, such as the National Data Protection Commission for data protection, the Audiovisual Regulatory Authority for audiovisual content, and the National Institute for Standardization and Quality for hazardous products. Additionally, it will assist the European Commission in investigations targeting very large online platforms.

The DSA aims to create a safer and more responsible online environment by imposing rules on online intermediary services and specific obligations for very large platforms that reach over 10% of the 450 million consumers in Europe. As the DSC, the authority will monitor compliance among approximately 195 intermediary service providers established in Luxembourg that fall under the DSA's jurisdiction.

The European Commission retains the authority to oversee compliance specifically for very large platforms and search engines.
