With the DSA having been formally endorsed, we recognise that the #DSA takes some steps towards fighting against illegal content online while improving consumer protection. However, it is still a missed opportunity to ensure that illegal content is swiftly and permanently removed

Thank you @sabineverheyen for your outstanding work on the #DSA. We echo your views that #KYBC needs to be broader and look forward to working with you to make this a reality at the earliest opportunity

Sadly fakes are not confined to online marketplaces but the new EU rules on verifying sellers ARE. So they will only fix a small part of the problem. We need verification rules extended to ALL online intermediaries. After today's vote we must build on DSA with NIS2 #KYBC

Did you ever order something nice online, but received a fake? 😬 We must put a stop to that. 🛒 With new EU rules, from next year, online platforms must verify their sellers to prevent online shopping product #fraud. ▶️ epp.group/s3e14 #DSA #DigitalServicesAct

Yes @ThierryBreton we DO need to build on the #DSA. Counterfeiting is not limited to online marketplaces so why limit KYBC? We need #KYBC for ALL intermediaries so consumers have complete trust and protection from illegal activity wherever they go online.

Many ideas at today’s roundtable from brands, platforms, logistics, payment services, consumers to boost the fight against #counterfeiting. A🇪🇺 toolbox — building on #DSA, NIS2, #blockchain, custom controls — to protect: ✔️Consumers ✔️Supply chains ✔️Innovation #SingleMarket

Happy #EuropeDay ! 🇪🇺 can be a 🌍 leader in creating standards in the fight vs #counterfeiting, particularly online. The #DSA is 1 step in this direction, but additional targeted & mandatory initiatives are needed to efficiently tackle the phenomenon ➡️tinyurl.com/28w37umb

🧐DYK that 75,3% of #counterfeit perfumes & cosmetics detained by customs authorities in 🇪🇺 are linked to online sales ? That's why we call for strong obligations in #DSA for online intermediaries to proactively fight the appearance & dissemination of counterfeits @OECD @EU_IPO

🛑 #Faux parfums : un prix trop attractif n’est pas synonyme d’1 bonne affaire. Les #parfums #contrefaisants peuvent contenir de l’urine animale comme conservateur et même de l’antigel pouvant provoquer de sérieux #problèmes dermatologiques. #contrefaçon francebleu.fr/infos/faits-di…

Social media is ↗️ facilitating online #counterfeiting. Together with actors such as advertising platforms, search engines & livestreaming apps, it allows fraudulent sellers to reach online users & facilitates sales. 👉That's why we call for a wide scope of #DSA obligations

A recent EUIPO study found that 11 % of social media conversations on brands and products could relate to counterfeits. and 35 % to piracy. Full report 'Monitoring and analysing social media in relation to IPR Infringement' here: euipo.europa.eu/tunnel-web/sec…

The #DSA is a chance for 🇪🇺 to create a gold-standard for what is illegal offline to be illegal online 👉This should also mean reinforcing the fight vs online #counterfeiting, a ↗️ phenomenon that harms consumers' safety, brands, jobs, the economy & environment @SchaldemoseMEP

Incredible moment from today: @BarackObama touts the EU's Digital Services Act #DSA as a way to "regulate the abuses that are seen in Big Tech companies." And he calls on the US to "find our voice in the global conversation."



Good luck with the #DSA talks, which could be a first step towards ensuring a safe online environment. Broad #KYBC obligations would guarantee that what is illegal offline, should be illegal online. @SchaldemoseMEP

Arrived and ready for the negotiation on the #DSA today! We may take a big step today for a safe and accountable online environment: What is illegal offline, should also be seen and treated as illegal online! #bridgebuilding

TAC urges #DSA negotiators not to choose expediency over quality: for what is illegal offline to be illegal online, a number of steps still need to be taken. In the fight vs online #counterfeiting, this means first & foremost: 👉↗️ #KYBC's scope 👉Brands as trusted flaggers

The world is watching. I agree with @HillaryClinton. We need to deliver on the #DSA. It’s a beautiful morning in Brussels. I think it will be a good day. I am ready for today’s trilogue. Stay tuned…

👉Such a limited #KYBC scope will ↗️counterfeits' shift from marketplaces to other types of platforms 👉Online counterfeiting will keep ↗️, threatening consumers' health, 🇪🇺's economy & jobs, brands' reputation & revenue... All things that the EPP has long fought to support!

@EPPGroup must defend a broader #KYBC scope in Friday's #DSA trilogue. Why? 👉It was the group's initial stance 👉It has been defended in @sabineverheyen & @GeoffroyDidier's opinions 👉Online #counterfeiting is ↗️ taking place beyond marketplaces (social media, ads platforms)

1/7 For the upcoming #DSA trilogues we call to correct these points: new safe harbour for #SearchEngines will weaken online protection in Art4. Remove this provision & work towards a solution that does not weaken the existing incentives on #SearchEngines
