Impactful Policy Frameworks
EU Regulation 2022/2065 (Digital Services Act - DSA)
Effective February 17, 2024, the DSA introduces comprehensive rules for online platforms, including transparency obligations, content moderation requirements, and measures to combat illegal goods online.
This policy will require Kepelymata, as an online platform, to implement stricter content moderation and ensure the legality of listed handmade goods, potentially increasing operational complexity.
Directive (EU) 2019/770 on certain aspects concerning contracts for the supply of digital content and digital services (Digital Content Directive)
Implemented in Greece as Law 4930/2022, this directive, effective January 1, 2022, provides consumer rights and remedies for digital content and services, relevant for any digital patterns or design files sold.
Kepelymata selling digital DIY guides or patterns will need to ensure compliance with new consumer rights regarding digital content, impacting terms of service and refund policies.
EU Waste Framework Directive (2008/98/EC) and its amendments
This directive, updated through various regulations (e.g., Circular Economy Action Plan 2020), promotes waste prevention and recycling, impacting material sourcing and packaging for all products.
Kepelymata may need to adopt more sustainable sourcing for materials and eco-friendly packaging solutions to align with evolving waste management regulations and consumer preferences for sustainable products.
