Good for Henna #Virkkunen to condemn the ban of the US administration against her predecessor, Thierry #Breton. Should they not lift these the #EU has to set countermeasures. Start from #Rubio
Sounds like Tech Commissioner #Virkkunen is trying to reassure critics in the #EU on #DSA + #DMA enforcement:
“I have been working all the time on these topics. But of course, people, they have very different personal styles, I think,” she told #Politico.
“It’s important to stay calm, even if […]

Finally a response from @EUCommission Vice-President #Virkkunen on the American attacks against #democracy in Europe (unfortunately on #LinkedIn):
"The #DSA and #DMA are our sovereign legislations - Non-discriminatory, applying to all online platforms in the […]

@EUCommission VP Henna #Virkkunen promises series of #DSA decisions "in near future."
“We have now many investigations in the pipeline and in the coming weeks and months, there will be coming several decisions on this field,” Executive Vice President for Tech Sovereignty Henna Virkkunen told […]
« Elle suit les procédures à la lettre, elle est sérieuse, elle est agréable, mais elle ne porte aucune vision et n’a aucun sens politique »
Voilà, voilà la Commission d'aujourd'hui.

The @EUCommission's Executive Vice President for tech #sovereignty Henna #Virkkunen canceled her appearance at the #EU Parliament’s working group on the #DigitalServicesAct scheduled for today, which she has repeatedly done.
Also: the following working group discussion features a national […]

Just a minor detail: Now responsible EVP Henna #Virkkunen met with #Huawei in her former role as MEP and CRA shadow rapporteur. She was not offered anything, spokesperson told me.
The only really encouraging remarks from Commissioner #Virkkunen in my opinion were:
1. Her clear commitment that European "values" (I assume she means #EU law) are not negotiable.
2. That she has not been in touch with #bigtech CEOs yet (and let herself be lobbied for weak enforcement) and […]
How is it possible that an interview of Digital Commissioner #Virkkunen by 3 seasoned reporters on #DSA enforcement turns out so incredibly tame and shallow?
Such a missed opportunity to press her on:
* what kind of info are your teams still requesting from #X after 1 year of investigation?
* […]
Sounds like everyone agrees that "an open European search index would be nice" (hello @openwebsearcheu 👋) but of course the Commission's DMA enforcement official in the room cannot say anything about that; more EU funding for the #digitalcommons is a political decision which requires support […]

#Tech: #EU scales back tech rules to boost #AI investment - says Henna #Virkkunen, by Barbara Moens and Henry Foy | Financial Times
Will @vonderleyen.ec.europa.eu dare to PM Meloni for answers? Will responsible Commissioners #Virkkunen #McGrath take action? Will @europarl.europa.eu finally reconstitute the PEGA committee? Will #EUCO @eucopresident.consilium.europa.eu raise the matter? Will they finally end the impunity?
I nuovi barbari americani che considerano il mondo terra di conquista e sono allergici alle leggi del rispetto reciproco. Per loro esiste solo il dio denaro.

Congratulations to Henna Virkkunen, Executive Vice-President of the European Commission and the new Commissioner for Tech Sovereignty, Security and Democracy.
#EPHearing #Virkkunen
Throwback to the #EUCommission hearings last week. I asked Henna #Virkkunen about the impact of the US election result on Europe's tech independence and sovereignty. I'm pleased to see a strong commitment to #opensource & open standards. Read the full Q&A:
#JDVance #NATO
Fortunately, at the #EUParliament Hearing, Commissioner-designate #Virkkunen committed much more strongly to #DSA enforcement than in her previous answers:
"When online platforms do not comply, the COM is opening proceedings. We will fully enforce it [the DSA]. No doubt on that."
