DIGITALEUROPE- Ten priorities for the EU-US Trade and Technology Council

See attached position paper, in particular Section 7. “Technology Platforms and Competition”:

Success for the TTC will also be measured against both the EU and US’ willingness to address common challenges between both parties on technological regulatory issues. The “data governance and technology platforms” working group should for example drive some of the most complex, yet important discussions around measures including the Digital Markets Act (DMA).

Desired outcomes

 ▪ Ensure that TTC discussions address important topics such as the DMA as part of the data governance and technology platforms working group.

▪ Work towards key principles and shared values, covering issues such as due process, non-discrimination, security, countering authoritarian surveillance, and the rule of law that would guide future engagement and outcomes under the TTC.

▪ Ensure that the EU-US Joint Technology Competition Policy Dialogue and the Data Governance and Technology Platforms Working Group under the TTC exchange views regularly to avoid operating in silos.
