DSA: France seeks compromise on targeted advertising, marketplaces, systemic risks

In light of receiving a new mandate for a meeting with EU ambassadors on Wednesday (30 March), the French Presidency of the European Council proposed a compromise on some critical issues of the Digital Services Act (DSA) to the other member states.

The compromise tries to accommodate the European Parliament’s position on protecting minors, sensitive data, online marketplaces, the definition of very large online platforms and obligations related to systemic risks ahead of the political trilogue on Thursday.

Targeted advertising is at the top of the political agenda, following a political agreement reached during the last negotiating session on the Digital Markets Act, the DSA’s sister proposal, as announced at a press conference by French state secretary for digital Cédric O on Friday (25 March).
