Exactly 2 years ago, the #DigitalServicesAct set a new standard for the online world. Of course, the online world is still evolving. Challenges remain, and implementation continues together with EU MSs to ensure the rules deliver in practice. What have we achieved since then?

Very good to welcome Juvencio Maeztu, CEO of Ingka Group (IKEA). We had a great discussion on resilience and competitiveness — and how businesses can achieve both while being climate-smart.

Today, we have launched an investigation into Shein under the #DSA. The investigation concerns the platform’s potentially addictive design features, the lack of transparency around its recommender systems, and the sale of illegal products, including child sexual abuse material.

Last week, I visited the Bavarian police headquarters. Good exchange on the needs of practitioners, especially when it comes to cooperating across borders. This exchange is especially vital in view of the revision of Europol's mandate later this year. Thank you for the insights!

Russia’s regime doesn’t limit itself to bombing Ukraine, it also keeps silencing opponents at home. Two years ago, Alexei Navalny died in a Russian prison camp, poisoned with a lethal toxin. The Kremlin bears full responsibility. (1/3)

Does it also seem amusing to you how on Saturday in Munich, Petr Macinka complains that European legislators do not have a mandate from the people, and on Monday in Prague his colleague Filip Turek presents to citizens a candidate for his post who will do only what he wants?
