  • CCIA Europe AI Letter

We welcome the Commission’s dual emphasis on building European excellence and trust in AI. Your efforts are crucial in ensuring that AI can support Europe’s economic recovery, green and digital transitions, and help Europeans, e.g. through improved healthcare. In anticipation of your forthcoming AI proposal please allow us to share our recommendations: ● A proportionate and risk-based EU approach can maximise the benefits of AI, while also mitigating risks. ● New legal requirements should focus on a narrowly defined set of so-called ‘high-risk’ AI applications. Determinations of what constitutes high-risk AI applications should focus on specific use cases rather than blanket technology categories and not conflict with planned or pending regulations that are already being developed to ensure safety and trustworthiness. CCIA Europe, Rue de la Loi 227, 1040 Brussels, Belgium. EU Transparency Register: 15987896534-82. www.ccianet.org ● We recognise the importance of having a robust system in place to ensure companies are held responsible for testing their products before they are introduced into the EU market.

  • In Focus: Western Balkans' Great Progress Transitioning Into a Digital Economy
    In Focus: Western Balkans' great progress transitioning into a digital economy The Digital Agenda for the Western Balkans In 2018, the EU launched the Digital Agenda in Sofia, Bulgaria at the Digital Assembly. The agenda, one of the flagships of the EU strategy for the Western Balkans, aims to support the transition of the region into a digital economy. “Bridging the digital gap between countries of the Western Balkans and the members of the European Union is the goal of the Digital Agenda for the Western Balkans,” noted the Commissioner of the Digital Economy and Society at the time, Mariya Gabriel. The Commission, together with Ministers from six Western Balkan partners – Albania, Bosnia and Herzegovina, Kosovo*, Montenegro, the former Yugoslav Republic of Macedonia and Serbia – committed to investing in broadband connectivity, increasing cybersecurity, trust and digitisation of industry, strengthening the digital economy and society, and boosting research and innovation as part of digital transition. Such investments are expected to bring economic growth, the creation of jobs and improved services for citizens living in the region. Progress made The region has made headway on several of their digital actions. From the 1st of July 2019, there was a substantial reduction in mobile roaming charges for citizens and businesses in Albania, Bosnia and Herzegovina, Kosovo*, Montenegro, North Macedonia and Serbia thanks to the all-inclusive Western Balkan Roaming Agreement. Calls became eight times cheaper and the cost for data dropped on average
