Functioning of the ODR platform
In addition, the Commission reports annually on the functioning of the Online Dispute Resolution (ODR) platform since its launch in 2016.
The ODR platform helps consumers and traders resolve their disputes about online purchases without going to court - by connecting them with alternative (i.e. out-of-court) dispute resolution bodies.
