Martynas Dobrovolskis, Deputy Minister for Justice: During its Presidency, Lithuania will seek concrete solutions to strengthen the digital environment and consumer protection across the EU
Martynas Dobrovolskis, Deputy Minister of Justice, met with Isabel Riaño, Director-General of the Competitiveness and Trade (COMPET) Directorate-General at the Secretariat General of the Council of Europe.
The Deputy Minister emphasised that, in preparing for its Presidency of the Council of the European Union, Lithuania will place great emphasis on constructive dialogue with Member States and on making progress in implementing the EU’s key legislative priorities. The aim is for Lithuania’s Presidency to be credible, transparent and focused on concrete results.
Among the most important tasks planned are the review of the Digital Fairness Act and the Regulation on Consumer Protection Cooperation. Proposals from the European Commission on these legislative acts are expected on 11 November.
Mr Dobrovolskis emphasised that the Digital Fairness Act will be one of the priorities of Lithuania’s Presidency. Lithuania will seek to launch negotiations on this proposal, make as much progress as possible, and present a progress report to the EU Competitiveness Council as early as May.
Another key priority is the review of the Regulation on Consumer Protection Cooperation, which aims to strengthen cooperation between Member States and ensure more effective enforcement of consumer rights.
During its Presidency, Lithuania will seek not only to ensure a smooth negotiation process, but also to contribute to concrete decisions that strengthen the single market, the digital environment and consumer protection across the European Union.
