📍Today, our Senior Policy Director for Digital & Competitiveness, Michał Zakrzewski, joined the Industrial Task Force meeting on the Simplification Omnibus, organised by the European Commission. The focus: aligning EU product legislation with the digital age. ℹ️ We support a modern approach that reflects how consumers access information today. Reducing paper use means cutting costs for manufacturers and lowering CO₂ emissions. With 93% of Europeans regularly online (Eurostat, 2024), this shift is both timely and necessary. 📲 Product information is already widely available online, with nearly 1 in 5 users accessing it directly through company websites. The solutions exist — and are ready to be used. ⚙️ The DPP comes with associated costs, while much of the information consumers need is already available online. Therefore, we should make sure to leverage all readily available digital solutions.
