Admin Court cancels Article 15 of Electronic Platforms Regulation
The Administrative Court ruled to annul Article (15) of the Regulation of the Electronic Platforms Sector, which added a system of administrative sanctions exceeding the jurisdiction of the Ministry of Commerce and Industry. This article established a range of penalties from warnings to final cancellation without clear legislative authorization. The court affirmed that the regulation of sanctions must be based on explicit legal provisions, and that it is the legislature who defines competencies and penalties, not the implementing regulation that can create new punitive sanctions. It also noted that Law Decree No. 10 of 2026, although issued, was not in effect at the time of issuing Article (15), and therefore does not authorize the creation of such sanctions. Consequently, the article was annulled in accordance with the court's interpretation of the limits of legal jurisdiction, and the administrative authority was ordered to bear the costs.
