Talking Points

Recent interactions between the hosts and their guests.

No time to lose: Closing Europe's blind spot on child online safety
Q: What are the key differences between the directive, the regulation, and the interim measures, and how do they fit together?
The directive sets minimum EU-wide criminal definitions and standards, the regulation addresses detection and enforcement mechanisms (including a future European CSAM center), and interim measures provide a temporary legal base to retain action until the permanent framework is finalized.
No time to lose: Closing Europe's blind spot on child online safety
Q: Mr. Lenaers, can you explain why there were interim rules and why there was pressure to extend them quickly?
Interim rules existed to ensure there was a legal basis for voluntary platform detection and takedown while a permanent regulation was being drafted; extending them was essential to avoid a dangerous gap that would leave victims unprotected.
The Kremlin’s Secret Lists: How Russia Targets Europe
Q: What are the most pressing challenges coming from Russia in this context?
The guests describe election interference, bot campaigns, and the organized disinformation ecosystem, plus the need to study and counter self-censorship and protect democratic processes.
The Kremlin’s Secret Lists: How Russia Targets Europe
Q: Mr. Alatola, you recently raised this issue in a memo saying that Russian intelligence maintains a database of roughly 4-5,000 names of people who have been judged as hostile to Kremlin interests. Could you tell me more about that?
He explains the database as a deterrent tool, with varying lists from innocuous to target lists, which can include threats of physical harm, and emphasizes how this creates self-censorship and constrains political action.
Gender equality: Why are we still talking about it?
Q: Mrs. Sommen, how will these laws affect people's daily lives?
Transposition into national legislation is key; some member states are moving quickly with pay transparency and board diversity, while others are still implementing and interpreting these rules, which means real-life impact will vary by country in the near term.
