Committee work
The EuroISPA Intermediary Liability committee considers the responsibilities of Internet intermediaries in law and practice, the balance of legal obligations and the impact of legal measures in maintaining the balance of responsibilities that allows Europe's digital economy to thrive, while also supporting effective law enforcement within a framework of respect for fundamental rights in the online environment. As the EU institutions discuss the Digital Services Act, EuroISPA will engage with them to promote innovation-friendly liability protections as the key infrastructural element of the Digital Single Market.
Committee work
Legal certainty, trust and confidence in the data protection framework are of paramount importance for both businesses and European citizens, in order to meet the aims of the Digital Single Market Strategy and to make Europe competitive in the global markets. EuroISPA believes that European citizens’ personal data should be granted a uniform level of protection, regardless of the geographical location or the economic sector of the service provider. In today’s ever-changing digital environment, data protection rules are reflexive to the emergence of new services such as cloud computing and Artificial Intelligence and must not burden the internet industry with crippling compliance costs.

Committee work
EuroISPA’s Innovation and Growth committee brings together various Internet service providers with experience and insights on how to make Europe’s online content framework optimal for the digital age. The development of a virtuous and cross-border online content market in the EU is a key factor for the completion of the Digital Single Market. In the previous years, various legislative interventions have reformed, with different outcomes, the European online content framework in the area of content portability, audiovisual and VoD, rights management, levies, geoblocking and copyright. Amongst them the Copyright Directive reform has been the crux of this Committee’s work in the previous years. Going forward, EuroISPA will closely follow the implementation of the Directive at the national level. EuroISPA is also eager to work with the new Commission about new proposals in the area of online content and audiovisual.
