    We welcome yesterday's Secure Gateways decision by the Regional Court of Cologne, which builds on the principles set out by the European Court of Justice in October. This ruling protects the ability for independent service providers to continue working without incurring unwanted hindrances or costs. This is a principle that Belron will continue championing. Read more about our victory here https://lnkd.in/ev_YKmyD

    Wir freuen uns sehr über die heutige Entscheidung des Landgerichts Köln, mit dem das EuGH-Urteil vom 5. Oktober 2023 bestätigt wird: „Secure Gateways“, die unabhängige Kfz-Serviceanbieter am Zugriff auf notwendige Fahrzeugdaten hindern, müssen beseitigt werden. Das Urteil unterstreicht die Bedeutung fairer, ausgeglichener Wettbewerbsbedingungen auf dem Kfz-Servicemarkt. Mit der Entscheidung werden unabhängige Serviceanbieter gestärkt, so dass sie weiterhin dafür sorgen können, dass Autofahrer zwischen verschiedenen Angeboten wählen können.   Zahlreiche Kfz-Servicearbeiten wie die Rekalibrierung von Fahrerassistenzsystemen nach dem Austausch der Windschutzscheibe oder das Beheben von angezeigten Fehlern im Fahrzeugdisplay erfordern den Zugang zu den Fahrzeugdaten. Diesen Zugang haben einige Fahrzeughersteller durch technische Hürden und die Einführung von Lizenzgebühren zunehmend erschwert. Gegen diese „Secure Gateways“ sind ATU und Carglass® gemeinsam vorgegangen, da sie zusätzliche Kosten in den Betrieben verursachen und den freien Wettbewerb auf dem Kfz-Servicemarkt beeinträchtigen. Außerdem führt die Maßnahme zu potenziell steigenden Kosten für Verbraucher und schränkt damit deren Wahlfreiheit ein. Die Klage gegen Stellantis Europe (ehem. Fiat Chrysler Automobiles Italy) war beim Landgericht Köln eingebracht worden, das den Fall dem Europäischen Gerichthof (EuGH) vorlegte. Der EuGH stellte daraufhin im Oktober 2023 klar, dass die EU-Verordnung entsprechende Beschränkungen des Datenzugriffs nicht erlaubt. #Carglass #EUGH #SecureGateways #Automobilbranche
