European Parliament rejects consolidated text of the Digital Services Act
A majority of MEPs has pushed back against the version of the Digital Services Act (DSA) that was ‘fine-tuned’ after the informal agreement that was reached in April, as in their view some crucial parts of the final text were not part of the agreement.
The representatives of the European People’s Party, Renew Europe, the Greens/EFA and the Left groups have all opposed the text that was sent from the French Presidency of the EU Council on Friday (10 June). The text was sent ahead of a vote planned in the Parliament’s internal market committee on 15 June.
The rejection escalates an interinstitutional conflict between the EU co-legislators that started a few weeks back. After a political agreement was achieved on 23 April, the file went back to the technical level to iron down the details.
