.@vonderleyen has touched on two topics until now: Corona and digital. Very self congratulatory on vaccination, but rightfully pointing out that vaccination can only be a success when it is done globally. The word ‘patent’ is missing though…

Kim van Sparrentak (GroenLinks) di 14 sep 2021, 13:28

Platformworkers in court are fighting an uphill battle. We, the lawmakers, need to step in.

Digital labour platforms shouldn't create rules but should respect our social system based on solidarity.

Happy with the proposals under discussion in the 🇪🇺Parliament.

🗓 Feb, 2021: Italy demands €733M in fines from food delivery platforms.

Google, FB and Microsoft think they can buy power. Over 5 mln in lobbying each. The only way to stand up to that is political leadership and uniting forces. More on our 30/9 conference on ‘The Future of our Digital World’. Pre-register at digitalfuturesummit.eu

We’ve just published the third edition of the @EP_Taxation newsletter. A lot has happened over the last few months on tax avoidance, digital tax and sustainable taxation. Read about it via the link below 👇

“Russia may become more willing to assertively target digital internet systems abroad as a result, which may pair with its efforts to physically target internet infrastructure like undersea cables”

Paul Tang (PvdA) di 6 jul 2021, 09:49

The US warns that EU levy on digital firms “risks derailing [international] tax negotiations”.

But EU shouldn’t give in to US strong-handling. It’s perfectly legitimate to ask a contribution from the digital firms that profited most from the pandemic.

+1There is no way that the EU could give the big winners of the Covid crisis a free pass. The digital levy must be pressed forward. Even though US policy makers work together with Big Tech to stop it.

Paul Tang (PvdA) wo 16 jun 2021, 12:09

➡️On the European digital levy, we talked about overcoming resistance. The general feeling is that there is a current momentum to proceed as swiftly as possible.

If necessary, first with a coalition of the willing. Digital companies need to pay their fair share of taxes💰

Paul Tang (PvdA) wo 16 jun 2021, 11:23

Members urged that the profits of all big digital companies, including @amazon, are taxed where they operate. France installed a digital tax, hoping it wouldn’t be necessary anymore with a substantial global agreement 🤝

Paul Tang (PvdA) wo 16 jun 2021, 09:38

Today we meet with Members of the Finance Committee of the French national parliament, the Assemblée Nationale @AssembleeNat 🇫🇷

We discuss the reform of the international tax system and the EU’s digital levy (from 10.00 - 12.00)

Very glad the European Commission is taking the threat to submarine internet cables seriously. I took the issue on board in Europe’s new cyber security legislation as well. Together we keep our digital infrastructure safe

🗓️ 2021:

We just reached an agreement on the EU Digital Covid 19 certificate, which will facilitate crossing the borders again. We achieved funding for affordable testing (and will press for more), and the highest privacy standards.

Jeroen Lenaers (CDA) do 20 mei 2021, 18:39

White smoke for ‘EU Digital Covid Certificate’! 🔥

Tough negotiations, but good result. This will make cross-border travel in Europe much more simple and straightforward!

Key point for the @EPPGroup to deliver on!

@LukasMaries @mmatias_ @pvdaeuropa @TheProgressives since the vote was about the digital green certificate these AMs are seen as out of scope. Within S&D we are still having debates about compulsory licensing.

🚨 #JA21 is TEGEN het #EU-vaccinatiepaspoort en onderneemt actie in het #EuropeesParlement.

Bij voldoende steun van andere parlementsleden dienen we morgen een voorstel in om het 'Digital Green Certificate' in zijn geheel te verwerpen. 📝

Paul Tang (PvdA) do 8 apr 2021, 11:02

Interesting, the US are not just preparing trade sanctions against a digital tax but come forward with a constructive alternative. A more simple approach is indeed welcome. Let's see, the devil is in the details!

More freedom with a European Digital Green Certificate: great! 🎉 But vaccination is free whereas testing is costly. Read 👇 my call on the Commission to provide free #covid tests and a price cap, giving people a real choice, and ensuring equality and free movement.

Palantir, Huawei, Microsoft, Ali Baba amongst participants in GAIA-X European cloud initiative. Curious to see how that relates to the stated aims of “digital sovereignty” and “infrastructure based on European values”. Will call for EoV with @ThierryBreton in @EP_Justice

I understand the impatience on digital taxes and understand why countries go ahead on their own. Small business are struggling to make ends meet but see their multinational counterparts pay very little - @vestager at @EP_Taxation

Paul Tang (PvdA) di 23 mrt 2021, 17:29

.@vestager: The digital economy doesn’t function like the economy of the 20th century. We need to act fast to fairly tax and regulate this market, because the market definitely moves fast.

Paul Tang (PvdA) di 23 mrt 2021, 17:22

As Europeans are desperate for some freedom, the proposal for a #digital-green-pass is most welcome. @Europarl_EN must work fast and adopt on time for summer break, but not give in to massive behind-the-scenes pressure to just sign on the dotted line and adopt already next week

The unelected European Commission divides our society into first and second class citizens with this ‘Digital GREEN Pass’. Because with new strains of COVID, the vaccinating will never stop.

Right on the mark! According to 10 US states, FB colludes with Google in the online ad market and even gave the latter access to encrypted (!) WhatsApp messages & photos. Why did the European Commission not directly address this in the Digital Market Act? ft.com/content/d23331…
