“Children’s online protection is a key priority for EuroISPA’s Online Content Committee, and our members have a longstanding relationship with law enforcement authorities to assist them in the fight against CSAM. In the last years, we have met with several EU policymakers working on the proposed CSAM Regulation to provide the technical expertise of our diverse membership on the matter. We will continue our engagement efforts, participating in further meetings and events. EuroISPA will have a key role to play in moving away from a polarised debate and instead focusing on the technical implications of the proposed CSAM Regulation.”

“Both data protection and the legal challenges around the availability of non-personal data remain a key topic in the process of transitioning Europe into a data economy. In this regard, the analysis of overlap and interdependency of the GDPR, the European Data Act, and the Artificial Intelligence Act will be of high importance for EuroISPA’s Data Economy Committee. In addition, the Association will continue to monitor the development of the EU-U.S. Data Privacy Framework and the further legislative process regarding the ePrivacy Regulation.”

“Digital society has huge benefits, but many vulnerabilities too. All sectors, areas and functions are now depending upon both electricity and data connection. Internet service providers are key players in digital communications. Also, the overall geopolitical landscape has changed in Europe: connecting modern society in everyday life and in crisis situations has become challenging domestically and internationally. A common European approach to cybersecurity and infrastructure resilience is therefore crucial to meet future challenges. As a matter of priority, the EuroIspa’s Cybersecurity and Infrastructure Committee is closely following current and upcoming legislative works in that field, in particular the Cybersecurity Act and the Digital Network Act.”
