On Friday, 5 September, Katinka Clausdatter Worsøe, Digitalisation Counsellor at Denmark’s Permanent Representation to the EU, presented the Danish Presidency’s priorities in the digital field at the Chamber’s premises.

The presentation began with a brief introduction by the President of the Chamber, Pablo López Álvarez, who framed the event within the framework of the Chamber’s line of breakfast debates that seek to follow up on the presidencies of the EU Council.

The counsellor then recalled the issues on the EU’s digital agenda for the current semester, such as the digital single market, artificial intelligence, cloud, connectivity, big data, digital public services and international digitalisation.

In this regard, Clausdatter outlined the two main priorities of the Danish Presidency: enhancing Europe’s digital competitiveness by boosting digital capabilities in key technologies, and ensuring that the digital space is safe for minors by implementing measures such as age verification.

Finally, the speaker outlined the complete legislative and activity agenda of the Danish Presidency’s Ministry of Digitalisation.

The session ended with an extensive question and answer session in which topics such as Web3 and the open Internet, AI legislation and online protection of minors, among other issues, were raised.
