AIM co-signs joint industry-NGO statement on Digital Services Act


AIM, the European Brands Association, co-signed today a joint industry-NGO statement on the Digital Services Act (DSA), together with BEUC, the consumer organisation, and 30 other industry and civil society groups stressing that, in their current shape, some compromises on DSA would risk harming consumers and businesses, particularly offline SMEs.

In their joint letter, signatories highlight they are deeply concerned by the current direction of the European Parliament’s negotiations on the DSA and by the content of certain draft compromise amendments that exclude key platform services. They urge policymakers to avoid adopting a framework that presents significant risks for both consumer protection and businesses’ viability and reputation, especially for offline small and medium enterprises.
