Recital 12
(12) Insofar as online marketplaces act as mere intermediaries between economic operators on the one hand, and members of the general public, professional users or farmers on the other hand, they should not be required to instruct their personnel involved in the sale of restricted explosives precursors or verify the identity and, where appropriate, the licence of the prospective customer or request other information from the prospective customer. However, given the central role which online marketplaces that act as an intermediary play in online economic transactions, including as regards the sales of restricted explosives precursors, it is appropriate that they should inform, in a clear and effective manner, users who aim to make available restricted explosives precursors through the use of their services of the obligations under this Regulation. In addition, it is appropriate that online marketplaces that act as an intermediary take measures to help ensure that their users comply with their obligations regarding verification, for instance by offering tools to facilitate verification of licences. All such obligations on online marketplaces that act as an intermediary under this Regulation should be without prejudice to Articles 14 and 15 of Directive 2000/31/EC of the European Parliament and of the Council34 . Furthermore, they should be subject to the same detection and reporting obligations as economic operators with respect to suspicious transactions. _________________ 34 Directive 2000/31/EC of the European Parliament and of the Council of 8 June 2000 on certain legal aspects of information society services, in particular electronic commerce, in the Internal Market ('Directive on electronic commerce') (OJ L 178, 17.07.2000, p. 1).
