Recital 27

(27) Some Member States or businesses have invested resources in developing national online platforms to promote repair. To avoid creating excessive administrative burden and to allow for appropriate flexibility, Member States should also be able to choose to maintain an existing national online platform which complies with the requirements of this Directive. Where a Member State maintains or establishes a national online platform, it should not be obliged to establish a national section on the European online platform or to designate national contact points. The Member States should choose between establishing a national section on the European online platform or establishing a national online platform that complies with the conditions set out in this Directive and inform the Commission thereof by 31 July 2026. Such national online platforms will be accessible via a link from the European online platform if they are operational at the latest on 31 July 2027. They could be private, public or private-public partnership online platforms.
