As from the 3rd of December 2018, the Geo-blocking regulation enters into force;
The provisions of said EU Regulation lift among others:
- blocking of access to online interfaces and
- redirecting to other online interfaces for reasons related to the nationality, place of residence or place of establishment of a customer.
In other words, redirecting a customer to a specific country-website, solely based on the country of residence of the customer, is no longer permitted.
