26/05/25 (Agence Europe) – On Friday 23 May, the Polish Presidency of the Council of the EU confirmed in a working group that it was moving towards a progress report on the draft regulation on the removal of child sexual abuse content from the Internet (CSAM), two sources said on Monday 26 May. Neither is it considering a new compromise, said one of its sources, leaving it to the Danish Presidency of the Council of the EU to find new solutions to this issue, which has been on the table since May 2022. The discussion on 23 May was short and revealed a lack of support for the latest compromises (see EUROPE 13646/12). The Polish Presidency had proposed making the voluntary detection of CSAM content permanent, which had consequently aroused reluctance among countries that were more in favour of the Commission’s initial text, which provided for mandatory detection orders.
