DSM package of 18 April,
contains 4 Communications (Standardisation, Cloud, IoT and eGovernment Action
Plan). All these will setup the agenda for months to come.
On Standards it
will specifically refer to the new Priority ICT standardisation Plan to which
we have contributed and introduce an EU catalogue for Standards. There will
also be a link to the revision of the European Interoperability Framework (EIF)
which has just gone out for consultation.
On Cloud,
the focus is on the creation of a European Science Cloud, on high investments
to create exascale infrastructures and also on the free flow of data initiative
(FFDI). The FFDI inception report should be published any day now and the
impact assessment together with the legislative proposal should be published
end of November.
The copyright
reform is ongoing, with the legislative proposal now expected in
October 2016 (previsouly June 2016). For now, another public consultation has
been launched, covering the anciallary copyright and freedom of panorama
(deadline 15 June).
On cybersecurity,
we have replied to the public consultation which closed in March and have also
sent a letter to the relevant EC representatives (both docs are in our Library).
For now, that the GDPR and NIS were agreed, the discussion is all around
blockchain and virtual currencies, with the EP being in the process of adopting
an own initiative report (led by ECON committee) with their key points on the
topic. A public consultation on the ePrivacy Directive is about to open every
day now. ENISA is now focusing on the transposition of
the NIS Directive providing guidelines to Member States. On GDPR, several means
to assess its impact have been put in place at national level.
