On 6 January 2021, the European Commission published an Inception Impact Assessment seeking feedback on an initiative aimed at defining EU competition law s scope of application to self-employed workers (in advance of an open public consultation anticipated for spring 2021). This is part of a review kicked off last summer focused on improving working conditions for the growing ranks of self-employed – workers integral and increasingly active in the consumer-facing (and exceptionally popular) services offered via platform players. In particular, the Commission is keen to facilitate possibilities for collective bargaining amongst the self-employed by providing them clarity and certainty regarding compliance with the competition rules.
