MEPs on the Committee for Industry, Research and Energy (ITRE) approved (64 votes in favour, 1 against), on Thursday 1 September, the provisional political agreement reached on 14 July by the European Parliament and the EU Council on the Path to the Digital Decade (see EUROPE 12993/8).
As a reminder, this Digital Skills, Infrastructure, Enterprise and Public Services Roadmap aims to shape the EU’s digital transition by setting EU-wide digital targets to be achieved by 2030.
Progress towards the targets set will be reassessed in 2026 and the European Commission will have to evaluate progress in an annual report.
For their part, Member States will have to develop national trajectories and strategic roadmaps to achieve the planned results.
The text approved on Thursday in the Parliament’s ITRE committee will be put to a vote by MEPs at the November plenary session. (Original version in French by Thomas Mangin)
