The EC sued Poland to the CJEU. Four other countries with us

The European Commission announced on Wednesday about referring a complaint to the CJEU to Poland and four other EU countries in connection with the non -delay of digital services (DSA). Poland did not designate the coordinator for digital services and did not give it the right to perform tasks related to DSA – the Commission said.

Apart from Poland, they were sued Czech Republic, Cyprus, Spain and Portugal. Although these four countries, unlike Poland, appointed digital services coordinators, they did not entrust them with the rights necessary to perform tasks arising from DSA.

According to the act, the Member States were to designate coordinators until February 17, 2024 and give them appropriate permissions to guarantee effective supervision and enforcement of DSA regulations. “Coordinators for digital services, cooperating with the Commission, are of fundamental importance for the supervision and enforcement of the provisions of the act on digital services and to ensure uniform application of this regulation throughout the Union” – emphasized the EC in a statement.

DSA, among others Specifies the principles of moderation of content, including the determination of political materials or strengthening “specific narratives”. (PAP)
