https://www.euractiv.com/section/cybersecurity/news/eu-council-clarifies-cyber-resilience-acts-interplay-with-ai-act-product-safety/
The Swedish presidency of the EU Council has circulated a new compromise text, obtained by EURACTIV, touching upon the relation with other EU laws, the notifying authorities, enforcement and penalties.

The Cyber Resilience Act is a legislative proposal to introduce baseline cybersecurity requirements for connected devices going through the ordinary legislative process.

The partial compromise results from the discussion held on 15 February in a meeting of the Horizontal Working Party on Cyber Issues, a technical body of the EU Council of ministers. The new document will be discussed at a technical meeting on Wednesday (1 March).

The changes to the text are not particularly significant, signalling that the discussions in the Council might not be mature enough to tackle more sensitive issues like the delegated powers of the European Commission and the timeline for the regulation’s entry into force.

https://www.euractiv.com/section/digital/opinion/how-the-ai-act-could-unintentionally-impact-access-to-healthcare/
Artificial Intelligence (AI) promises to support humans daily, assist with routine tasks, and advance human knowledge. It has great potential to improve patient outcomes and healthcare systems.

Alexander Olbrechts is Director Digital Health at MedTech Europe.

AI solutions are found in wearables or imaging devices that help predict heart failures, continuously monitor glucose levels, skin cancer self-scanning solutions, or personalised apps that provide ad-hoc counselling to help change health-related behaviour. It is also used in robot-assisted surgeries and to optimise clinical trials by using real-world data in patient recruitment. A recent study commissioned by MedTech Europe showed that AI in healthcare could save around 400 000 lives annually and up to 200 billion Euros in Europe.

Proprietary SaaS plaforms like Sharepoint and MS 365 have become major cash cows, and on-premises solutions get discontinued across the tech sector to force customers into vendor-locked clouds. Organizations dealing with critical or sensitive data respond by looking to maintain their strategic autonomy by deploying on premises solutions. In collaboration with a number of European government organizations, the market leader in the open source, on-premises collaboration space today announces the expansion of it’s offering to provide a full SharePoint replacement, complete with migration services. Showing the strong trend towards digital sovereignty, the announcement comes shortly after the highest EU Data Protection authority, the EDPS, announced they deploy and recommend Nextcloud.

Following a dialogue with EU consumer protection authorities and the European Commission (CPC network), WhatsApp committed to being more transparent on changes to its terms of service. Moreover, the company will make it easier for users to reject updates when they disagree with them, and will clearly explain when such rejection leads the user to no longer be able to use WhatsApp's services. Also, WhatsApp confirmed that users' personal data are not shared with third-parties or other Meta companies - including Facebook - for advertising purposes. The dialogue was coordinated by the Swedish Consumer Agency and the Irish Competition and Consumer Protection Commission and facilitated by the Commission.

In a closed-door meeting with EU lawmakers, the European Data Protection Supervisor criticised the proposal to fight Child Sexual Abuse Material as trying to mask breaches of fundamental rights.

The European Data Protection Supervisor (EDPS), the authority responsible for advising EU institutions on privacy matters, took an outspoken, critical stance on the draft law in a joint opinion with the European Data Protection Board.

When the European Commission published the proposal to fight the dissemination of Child Sexual Abuse Material (CSAM) in May, it was criticised as the legislation includes the possibility for judges to issue detection orders for interpersonal communication services.

The new compromise on the draft data law, seen by EURACTIV, further refines the protection of trade secrets and clarifies the relationship with data protection rules and the application of the cloud-switching provisions.

The Swedish presidency shared the sixth compromise text on the Data Act on Wednesday (8 March), with the view of discussing it on 14 March at the Telecom Working Party, a technical body of the EU Council.

The Data Act is a flagship legislative proposal intended to regulate how data is shared, accessed and ported. If no significant opposition is raised next week, the presidency’s text will land on the Committee of Permanent Representatives (COREPER) table on 22 March.

L'identità digitale consente inoltre ai cittadini europei di accedere ai servizi online di altri Stati membri dell'UE tramite il semplice utilizzo della propria carta d'identità elettronica nazionale.

Find out how the DSA can make the online world safer and protect your fundamental rights.
DSA text on a blue and purple background

@EuropeanCommission
Are you curious to know about how the EU protects you online? New rules introduced in the DSA will work to create a fairer and safer online world.

There are many ways to spend time and find information online, whether you are connecting with friends, browsing social media or like three-quarters of the EU population, doing some online shopping.

But, how confident are you of the sources you are buying from? Do you know why you are being recommended certain products? And what happens when our connections online turn sour, or if your content gets blocked on social media with no explanation?

These are all questions that the European Union is addressing to make sure the digital world is safe and fair for all of us.
