  1. Highlights - EVP Virkkunen on EU Digital Legislation, Cybersecurity and Hybrid Threats - Special Committee on the European Democracy Shield

    European Commission Executive Vice-President for Tech Sovereignty, Security and Democracy
    On 27 April in Strasbourg, Executive Vice-President Henna Virkkunen will be in the EUDS Committee for an extraordinary meeting to discuss EU's most pressing digital and security challenges.

    The exchange will cover the full breadth of the EU's digital framework -- from the enforcement of the Digital Services Act (DSA), the Digital Markets Act (DMA), the European Media Freedom Act (EMFA), to the on-going work on the implementation of the AI Act. It will also touch on legislation in the pipeline, most notably the critical revision of the Cybersecurity Act, the Digital Fairness Act, and the upcoming revision of the Audiovisual Media Services Directive (AVMSD).

    EVP Virkkunen's mandate is key for advancing the European Democracy Shield and for bolstering the resilience of democratic institutions, including on EU response to cyberattacks, hybrid threats, supply chain vulnerabilities, and foreign interference -- issues that sit at the heart of the Committee's ongoing work.
