Teaser

Summary

The fourth edition of the Digital Assembly (DA) was held on 17 and 18 June in Riga, as an event co-organised by the European Commission Latvian Presidency and. It featured plenary sessions with keynote speeches and inspirational speeches delivered by successful entrepreneurs, 7 workshops, side events and networking opportunities

The Digital Assembly focussed on the launch of the Digital Single Market strategy; key conclusions were:
1) Digital skills - to create a strong DSM, there is a need to motivate people to engage in digital lifelong learning; to motivate businesses to train people; to strengthen digital skills partnerships in between businesses, education, government & NGOs; and to enhance digital skills teaching, learning and assessment.
2) Trust and confidence called for a swift implementation of the NIS directive, the establishment of a Cybersecurity contractual PPP and an initiative on free flow of data / ownership.
3) Creative content: it is possible to compete with free/piracy by deploying attractive services; defining territoriality by cultural affiliation not physical presence could allow consumer cross-border access to co-exist with the prevailing business models; creative content cannot be compared to mass products; users should have freedom to transform content, accompanied by revenue sharing with original creators for viral transformations.
4) Ensuring access and connectivity - need a swift review of the telecom acquis to cater for new market and commercial needs; called for further spectrum harmonisation; and called for an effective infrastructure competition.
5) The session on Building the digital economy for businesses and consumers endorsed the consumer specific measures within the DSM Strategy; which called to swiftly reduce VAT related burdens, in particular for SMEs; and which called for regulating the role of online platforms.
6) Promoting e-society, which prioritised the \'once only principle\', \'user friendly / intuitive public services\' and \'digital literacy\' as the most important items to achieve a user-friendly public service.
7) Digitising European industries and enterprises identified the following priorities: the harmonization of rules/standards around data access, use and ownership; the need for industry driven standardization; and the need for collaboration among companies, especially SMEs.

Workshop 1 - Building Trust and Confidence online
a) Creating the right conditions for digital networks and services to flourish
b) Legislative proposals to reform the current telecom rules
c) The NIS Directive needs to be implemented as soon as possible to ensure a sufficient level of national capacities and harmonisation of requirements across the EU. Fragmentation will hinder the growth of cross-border business.

f) Maximising the growth potential of the Digital Economy
g) Initiatives on data ownership, free flow of data (e.g. between cloud providers) and on a European Cloud
h) Cloud computing needs to be trustworthy and requires legal certainty:
i) Definition of the responsibility of cloud providers: infrastructure provider or responsibility for security of content stored in the cloud? This definition is vital to determine whether cloud providers should be covered by the NIS Directive.
