  • The EU executive will next year present an initiative on the metaverse, the latest virtual reality space for users to interact, it announced on Wednesday (14 September).
  • Breton also referred to the EU’s Digital Services Act and Digital Markets Act, stating that the bloc already has “strong and future-proof regulatory tools for the digital space”.
  • For the benefit of all Europeans, the Commissioner thus calls on the market players profiting from the digital transformation to contribute fairly to public goods, services and infrastructures, hereby making for the first time a link to his initiative to make online platforms contribute to the cost of digital infrastructure.
