02/03/2022 (Agence Europe) – Forty NGOs, including Reporters Without Borders and Transparency International EU, called on the French Presidency of the Council of the EU, the European Parliament and the Commission, on Tuesday 1 March, to be more transparent regarding the inter-institutional negotiations (‘trilogue’) on the Digital Markets Act (DMA) (see EUROPE 12885/7) and Digital Services Act (DSA) (see EUROPE 12900/18). “The DSA and DMA will have an impact on individuals, workers and small businesses. At the very least, they should be able to examine the discussions and compromises as they take place”, said Margarida Silva, researcher and campaigner at Corporate Europe Observatory. The NGOs are calling for the timetable of trilogue meetings to be made public, for a summary of the agendas to be included and for the various documents involved in the negotiations to be published in a “proactive” manner.
