Connect International welcomes the European Commission's draft and the efforts to strengthen cybersecurity requirements for products with digital elements. From the perspective of our work on youth rights, digital wellbeing, and media literacy, we would like to highlight a complementary dimension that could be more explicitly reflected in the Commissions guidance.

Their record over time
CONNECT International filed 2 positions between 27 Mar 2026 and 31 Mar 2026, across 2 of the 326 legislative files tracked here.
What they argued
Connect International welcomes the draft Implementing Regulation and the European Commissions efforts to establish clear and enforceable procedural arrangements for the evaluation of general-purpose AI (GPAI) models. However, Article 3 creates a striking imbalance: it is highly specific in defining what an expert must not be, while remaining largely silent on what an expert must know.

Turns up on the same files
Organizations that also filed on at least two of the same consultations. A shared interest in the same dossiers — not evidence of coordination, and we do not suggest any.

Is this your organization?
Everything on this page comes from CONNECT International’s own submissions to the European Commission — we have added nothing and interpreted nothing. If something is wrong or out of date, email info@policyspeak.com and we will correct it. If you are an individual named in a record, our privacy policy sets out your rights to correction, objection and removal.
Quotes are verbatim from submissions published by the European Commission, trimmed to their opening passage and never summarized by a model. Organizations only, never individuals. Reused under Commission Decision 2011/833/EU; the European Commission is not liable for this reuse.
