Today, the European Commission announced that it has adopted a decision finding that Meta violated EU competition rules in the markets for online classified ads. Schibsted Marketplaces has actively followed the procedure and given input to the Commission. “We welcome that the Commission has brought this case to an end today. We have long expressed our concerns about Meta’s unfair practices in the markets for online classified ads and are happy to see that the Commission acted forcefully to protect fairness and contestability in the European digital markets. We look forward to seeing how Meta will comply with the Commission’s decision,” says Christian Printzell Halvorsen, CEO of Schibsted Marketplaces.
