1. In addition to the information referred to in Article 15, providers of online_platforms shall include in the reports referred to in that Article information on the following:
| (a) | the number of disputes submitted to the out-of-court dispute settlement bodies referred to in Article 21, the outcomes of the dispute settlement, and the median time needed for completing the dispute settlement procedures, as well as the share of disputes where the provider of the online_platform implemented the decisions of the body; |
| (b) | the number of suspensions imposed pursuant to Article 23, distinguishing between suspensions enacted for the provision of manifestly illegal_content, the submission of manifestly unfounded notices and the submission of manifestly unfounded complaints. |
2. By 17 February 2023 and at least once every six months thereafter, providers shall publish for each online_platform or online_search_engine, in a publicly available section of their online_interface, information on the average monthly active recipients of the service in the Union, calculated as an average over the period of the past six months and in accordance with the methodology laid down in the delegated acts referred to in Article 33(3), where those delegated acts have been adopted.
3. Providers of online_platforms or of online_search_engines shall communicate to the Digital_Services_Coordinator_of_establishment and the Commission, upon their request and without undue delay, the information referred to in paragraph 2, updated to the moment of such request. That Digital Services Coordinator or the Commission may require the provider of the online_platform or of the online_search_engine to provide additional information as regards the calculation referred to in that paragraph, including explanations and substantiation in respect of the data used. That information shall not include personal data.
4. When the Digital_Services_Coordinator_of_establishment has reasons to consider, based the information received pursuant to paragraphs 2 and 3 of this Article, that a provider of online_platforms or of online_search_engines meets the threshold of average monthly active recipients of the service in the Union laid down in Article 33(1), it shall inform the Commission thereof.
5. Providers of online_platforms shall, without undue delay, submit to the Commission the decisions and the statements of reasons referred to in Article 17(1) for the inclusion in a publicly accessible machine-readable database managed by the Commission. Providers of online_platforms shall ensure that the information submitted does not contain personal data.
6. The Commission may adopt implementing acts to lay down templates concerning the form, content and other details of reports pursuant to paragraph 1 of this Article. Those implementing acts shall be adopted in accordance with the advisory procedure referred to in Article 88.
Article 52
Penalties
1. Member States shall lay down the rules on penalties applicable to infringements of this Regulation by providers of intermediary_services within their competence and shall take all the necessary measures to ensure that they are implemented in accordance with Article 51.
2. Penalties shall be effective, proportionate and dissuasive. Member States shall notify the Commission of those rules and of those measures and shall notify it, without delay, of any subsequent amendments affecting them.
3. Member States shall ensure that the maximum amount of fines that may be imposed for a failure to comply with an obligation laid down in this Regulation shall be 6 % of the annual worldwide turnover of the provider of intermediary_services concerned in the preceding financial year. Member States shall ensure that the maximum amount of the fine that may be imposed for the supply of incorrect, incomplete or misleading information, failure to reply or rectify incorrect, incomplete or misleading information and failure to submit to an inspection shall be 1 % of the annual income or worldwide turnover of the provider of intermediary_services or person concerned in the preceding financial year.

1. The Commission may adopt a decision, imposing on the provider of the very large online_platform or of the very large online_search_engine concerned or other person referred to in Article 67(1), as applicable, periodic penalty payments not exceeding 5 % of the average daily income or worldwide annual turnover in the preceding financial year per day, calculated from the date appointed by the decision, in order to compel them to:

| (b) | submit to an inspection which it has ordered by decision pursuant to Article 69; |
| (c) | comply with a decision ordering interim measures pursuant to Article 70(1); |
