DSA: EP changes expand the one-for-all l • Table.Briefings

Yesterday, the European Parliament adopted its negotiating position on the Digital Services Act by a large majority. The DSA was intended to lay down the basic rules for all providers on the network. However, as was the case with the Commission’s draft and the Council’s direction, the Parliament’s position also includes numerous special regulations in addition to the horizontal foundation. The response has been mixed.

The basic idea behind the Digital Services Act is simple: The DSA is intended to create uniform rights and obligations throughout Europe between users and various forms of providers on the Internet. And impose heavier burdens on providers in the process. On Thursday afternoon, the European Parliament voted 530 to 78, with 80 abstentions, in favor of the latest version after final amendments. „This vote gives Parliament the back-up to defend its position against the Council,“ expects Andreas Schwab (CDU/EVP).
