The European Commission is consulting on a potential voluntary Code of Conduct to combat online fraud and scams. The consultation is part of the Commission's broader efforts to enhance online safety and security, particularly regarding financial transactions and digital services.
The initiative relates to the Digital Services Act (DSA). The Commission is seeking input from stakeholders to shape the development of this Code of Conduct.
The consultation applies to payment institutions and other entities involved in online transactions. Stakeholders are encouraged to participate to influence the guidelines that may emerge from this initiative.
No specific deadline for the consultation is stated in the material. Stakeholders should monitor the outcomes and prepare to adapt their fraud prevention measures accordingly.
