## Question

What does the Commission's Digital Services Act Q\&A explain for DSA scope and enforcement?

## Final answer

The Commission FAQ explains the DSA's scope for intermediary services, online platforms and very large online platforms or search engines. It also describes user protections, platform obligations, the designation and compliance timeline for VLOPs and VLOSEs, and the enforcement architecture involving Digital Services Coordinators and the Commission.

For enforcement, the FAQ states that Digital Services Coordinators supervise and enforce DSA compliance for providers established in their territory, while the Commission has exclusive competence for supervising and enforcing the additional obligations imposed on VLOPs and VLOSEs under Section 5 of Chapter III DSA. The FAQ also explains complaint routes through Digital Services Coordinators and the role of trusted flaggers and out-of-court dispute settlement bodies.

## Querying This Documentation
If you need additional information that is not directly available in this page, you can query the documentation dynamically by asking a question.

Perform an HTTP GET request on the current page URL with the `ask` query parameter, and the optional `goal` query parameter:

```
GET https://www.mica.wtf/eu-level/q-and-a/commission-dsa-qa-general.md?ask=<question>&goal=<endgoal>
```

`ask` is the immediate question: it should be specific, self-contained, and written in natural language.
`goal` is optional and describes the broader end goal you are ultimately trying to accomplish on behalf of the user. GitBook uses it to tailor the answer towards what is most useful for that goal.

The response will contain a direct answer to the question and relevant excerpts and sources from the documentation.

Use this mechanism when the answer is not explicitly present in the current page, you need clarification or additional context, or you want to retrieve related documentation sections.
