CCIA Europe AI Letter
Ms. Margrethe Vestager Executive Vice-President, Europe fit for the Digital Age, European Commission Mr. Valdis Dombrovskis Executive Vice-President, An Economy that Works for People, European Commission Ms. Věra Jourová Vice President, Values and Transparency, European Commission Mr. Thierry Breton Commissioner, Internal Market, European Commission Ms. Mariya Gabriel Commissioner, Innovation, Research, Culture, Education and Youth, European Commission Ms. Ylva Johansson Commissioner, Home Affairs, European Commission Mr. Didier Reynders Commissioner, Justice, European Commission Sent by email Brussels, 31st March 2021 Dear Executive Vice-Presidents, Vice-President, Commissioners, The Computer & Communications Industry Association (CCIA Europe) looks forward to the European Commission’s forthcoming legislative proposal on trustworthy Artificial Intelligence (AI). 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 -

Gender Equality" 2016
WORKING GROUP ON "GENDER EQUALITY" 2016 FINAL REPORT Coordinator: Blanca Martín Delgado President of the Assembly of Extremadura 1. INTRODUCTION 2. WORKING GROUP ACTIVITIES 3. THE FIGURES 4. CONCLUSIONS 5. ACKNOWLEDGEMENTS and FINAL THOUGHTS Page 1 of 12 1. INTRODUCTION The Gender Equality Working Group started back in 2012, after the commitment of the presidents of CALRE to reaffirm that regional parliaments should play a significant role in eliminating barriers to reach full gender equality in social, economic and cultural life, thus promoting equal access to elective offices. This year, thirteen parliaments were members of CALRE: Andalusia, Balearic Islands, Canary Islands, Cantabria, Catalonia, Galicia, Azores, Molise, Lombardy, Trentino-Alto Adige, Flemish Parliament, Wallonia-Brussels and Parliament of Wallonia. It was coordinated by the president of the Assembly of Extremadura. These parliaments showed a strong commitment towards the fight against inequality and intolerance. In line with the spirit of commitment set by its predecessors, and through a participatory process among its members, the goals and action lines set for 2016 and contained in its Working Plan have been followed. First, the efforts of parliaments to become gender-sensitive institutions, as well as a broad range of strategies that can be implemented by all the legislative powers in this subject within this field were examined. The work of this group focused on promoting a study on gender in parliament. Directly related with the previous goal, it was deemed appropriate to include in the study the measures adopted by European regional parliaments in terms of equal opportunities for parliamentary mothers and fathers, on the balance between professional and family life, or parental leave, and to introduce a compilation of relevant and comparable data on actions or policies aimed at of combating discrimination on grounds of sexual orientation. -
