BRUSSELS (Reuters) -Zalando will appeal an EU court ruling dismissing its challenge against landmark EU tech rules, Europe’s biggest online retail company said on Wednesday.
The Luxembourg-based General Court, Europe’s second-highest, had earlier on Wednesday sided with the European Commission which had labelled Zalando as a very large online platform (VLOP) under the Digital Services Act subject to tough requirements.
“Our highly curated business model does not present a ‘systemic risk’ of disseminating harmful or illegal content from third parties, as presumed for VLOPs,” Zalando said in a statement.
“We will appeal the judgement,” it added.
