On 9 December 2021, the European Commission published its proposal for a directive on improving working conditions in digital platform work, which would include mandatory data sharing requirements for platforms. Specifically, digital platforms would be required to share basic information about the number of people performing platform work and contractual conditions for such work with Member States. Additionally, the responsible labour and social protection authorities of Member States would have the right to ask for additional clarifications on such data. The proposal was published as part of a wider set of proposals relating to platform work, including new draft guidelines on the application of EU competition law to the sector.
