EUROPEAN UNION (POLITICAL ADVERTISING)

REGULATIONS 2025

These Regulations give full effect to Regulation (EU) 2024/900 of the

European Parliament and of the Council of 13 March 2024 on the

transparency and targeting of political advertising.

The principal objective of Regulation (EU) 2024/900 is to introduce

harmonised rules on the transparency of political advertising and on the use

of targeting and ad-delivery techniques involving the process of personal

data in the context of political advertising. Regulation (EU) 2024/900 aims

to make it easier for people to recognise political advertisements,

understand who is behind them and know whether they have received a

targeted advertisement, so that they are better placed to make informed

choices during elections and referendums.

Regulation (EU) 2024/900 c overs political advertising that is normally

provided for remuneration, but also includes political advertising through

in-house activities, such as the preparation of political advertisements

within political parties, and as part of a political advertising campaign.

Political advertising within the scope of Regulation (EU) 2024/900 must be

clearly labelled and must be accompanied by a transparency notice

incorporating specified information in relation to the advertisement.

Strict limits on the use of targeting and ad delivery techniques ap ply under

Regulation (EU) 2024/900. The use of personal data for targeting political

advertising online is permitted only if the data was collected from the data

subject, with the explicit and separate consent of the data subject for its use

for political advertising. Furthermore, t here is a blanket ban on profiling

using special categories of personal data within the meaning of Article 9(1)

of the General Data Protection Regulation.

For the purpose of overseeing compliance with the obligations laid down in

Regulation (EU) 2024/900, these Regulations designate –

- An Coimisiún Toghcháin as the competent authorit y for the

purposes of Articles 21(4) and 22(3) a nd 22(4) of Regulation

(EU) 2024/900 (subject to the provisions of Regulations 6(2) and

31) and as the national contact point under Article 22(9) of the

aforesaid Regulation, and

- for the purposes of Article 22(3) and (4), Coimisiú n na Meán as

the competent authority to supervise the compliance of –

(a) providers of intermediary services,

(b) providers of audiovisual media services,

(c) providers of a sound broadcasting service,

(d) providers of relevant online ser vices designated under section

139E of the Broadcasting Act 2009 as a service to which online

safety codes may be applied under Chapter 3 of P art 8A of that

Act, and

(e) hosting service providers,

with the obliga tions laid down in Articles 7 to 17 of Regulation (EU)

2024/900 that apply to those providers or parties, as the case may be.

Part 2 of the Regulations provides for, among others matters, the sanctions

which may be applied by a competent authority in the event that an

infringement of Regulation (EU) 2024/900 takes place.

The Data Protection Commission is the competent authority to oversee the

implementation of Articles 18 and 19 of Regulation (EU) 2024/900.

These Regulations commence on 10 October 2025.

Copies of the above may be purchased from Government Public ations,

Mountshannon Road, Kilmainham, Dublin, D08 XA06. Phone: 046 942
