Those member states are:
Belgium (INFR(2024)2164) Spain (INFR(2024)2165), Croatia (INFR(2024)2166),Luxembourg (INFR(2024)2168), Netherlands (INFR(2024)2163) and Sweden (INFR(2024)2169).
These Member States either did not designate the competent authorities, the so-called Digital Services Coordinators, to implement the Digital Services Act, or did not empower these authorities to perform the tasks required by the Act, or both. The Digital Services Act aims to make the online space safer. The Member States had until 17 February 2024 to designate these authorities under the Digital Services Act. Digital Services Coordinators supervise online intermediaries (like online platforms) established on their territories and are the first point of contact for people and businesses to resolve complaints related to those. The Member States have two months to respond and address the shortcomings raised by the Commission. In the absence of satisfactory responses, the Commission may decide to issue reasoned opinions.
