This mechanism derives its statutory basis from Article XVII.34/1 of the Code of Economic Law, a durable instrument empowering the Brussels Business Court to issue such orders, with non-compliance exposing intermediaries to fines of up to EUR 500,000 per violation. The automatic-mirror provision in particular tightens the practical effectiveness of platform-level enforcement against evasive site replication.
