§6.3 Level of detail for direct and indirect remuneration

101. Where the main parameters used include the possibility to influence ranking against remuneration, the providers concerned should consider how they designed these options. In such cases, a best practice could be to accompany the description of the ‘paid ranking’ options and of the amplitude of their impact with an explanation of the business rationale behind that option and its potential impact. 102. Where applicable, the description of paid ranking options could, as a best practice, cross-reference the descriptions provided pursuant to Article 7(3)(c) and Article 7(3)(d), on differentiated treatment. Differentiated treatment can potentially constitute a ‘main parameter’ under Article 5. In addition to its description under that provision, the cross-reference will point users to the ‘main economic, commercial or legal reasons’ behind the differentiated treatment applied to providers’ own services or goods, which providers have to set out under Article 7(1).
