EU institutions sign European Declaration on Digital Rights and Principles
On December 15, 2022, Presidents of the Commission, the European Parliament and the Council signed the European Declaration on Digital Rights and Principles.
The Declaration, put forward by the Commission in January this year, presents the EU’s commitment to a secure, safe and sustainable digital transformation that puts people at the centre, in line with EU core values and fundamental rights. The Declaration shows citizens that European values, as well as the rights and freedoms enshrined in the EU’s legal framework, must be respected online as they are offline. Shaped around six chapters, the text will guide policy makers and companies dealing with new technologies. The Declaration will also steer the EU’s approach to the digital transformation throughout the world.
