With the DSA having been formally endorsed, we recognise that the #DSA takes some steps towards fighting against illegal content online while improving consumer protection. However, it is still a missed opportunity to ensure that illegal content is swiftly and permanently removed

TAC welcomes the EP's #DSA adoption. However, it's only a 1st step in the right direction of the fight vs online #counterfeiting
👉Rightsholders call on COM to complement the DSA w new targeted & mandatory initiatives in 🇪🇺, starting w @EU_Growth's Anti-Counterfeiting Toolbox ‼️

#Counterfeiting affects all kinds of products: health, toys, fashion, electronics, sporting goods, spare parts, chemicals, tech...
👉Consumers who are misled into buying counterfeits face serious health risks, on top of being scammed for money🧑⚕️

Happy #EuropeDay !
🇪🇺 can be a 🌍 leader in creating standards in the fight vs #counterfeiting, particularly online. The #DSA is 1 step in this direction, but additional targeted & mandatory initiatives are needed to efficiently tackle the phenomenon

🧐DYK that 75,3% of #counterfeit perfumes & cosmetics detained by customs authorities in 🇪🇺 are linked to online sales ?
That's why we call for strong obligations in #DSA for online intermediaries to proactively fight the appearance & dissemination of counterfeits

🛑 #Faux parfums : un prix trop attractif n’est pas synonyme d’1 bonne affaire. Les #parfums #contrefaisants peuvent contenir de l’urine animale comme conservateur et même de l’antigel pouvant provoquer de sérieux #problèmes dermatologiques.

Social media is ↗️ facilitating online #counterfeiting. Together with actors such as advertising platforms, search engines & livestreaming apps, it allows fraudulent sellers to reach online users & facilitates sales.
👉That's why we call for a wide scope of #DSA obligations
A recent EUIPO study found that 11 % of social media conversations on brands and products could relate to counterfeits. and 35 % to piracy.

The #DSA is a chance for 🇪🇺 to create a gold-standard for what is illegal offline to be illegal online
👉This should also mean reinforcing the fight vs online #counterfeiting, a ↗️ phenomenon that harms consumers' safety, brands, jobs, the economy & environment
@SchaldemoseMEP
Incredible moment from today:
@BarackObama touts the EU's Digital Services Act #DSA as a way to "regulate the abuses that are seen in Big Tech companies."
And he calls on the US to "find our voice in the global conversation."

TAC urges #DSA negotiators not to choose expediency over quality: for what is illegal offline to be illegal online, a number of steps still need to be taken. In the fight vs online #counterfeiting, this means first & foremost:
👉↗️ #KYBC's scope
👉Brands as trusted flaggers
The world is watching. I agree with @HillaryClinton. We need to deliver on the #DSA. It’s a beautiful morning in Brussels. I think it will be a good day. I am ready for today’s trilogue. Stay tuned…
KYBC EU retweeted
Ahead of tomorrow’s #DSA trilogue, we urge EU negotiators to:
1️⃣ Extend #KYBC to all platforms promoting & facilitating the sale of goods
2️⃣ Enable brands to apply for #TrustedFlaggers status
3️⃣ Impose a #StayDown obligation on hosting providers
4️⃣ Exempt micro platforms only
KYBC EU retweeted
Ahead of tomorrow's #DSA trilogue, we have 2 key asks to improve the fight vs online #counterfeiting:
1⃣Extend KYBC's scope to all platforms that facilitate & promote the sale of goods 👉it's not just marketplaces!
2⃣Incl brands in trusted flaggers' def👉they know their IP best!
KYBC EU retweeted
👉Such a limited #KYBC scope will ↗️counterfeits' shift from marketplaces to other types of platforms
👉Online counterfeiting will keep ↗️, threatening consumers' health, 🇪🇺's economy & jobs, brands' reputation & revenue... All things that the EPP has long fought to support!
KYBC EU retweeted
@EPPGroup must defend a broader #KYBC scope in Friday's #DSA trilogue. Why?
👉It was the group's initial stance
👉It has been defended in @sabineverheyen & @GeoffroyDidier's opinions
👉Online #counterfeiting is ↗️ taking place beyond marketplaces (social media, ads platforms)

“Presidency proposes to impose an obligation of reasonable means to providers of online #marketplaces so that they carry out random checks on the #legality of the products and services they offer,” reads the text”

We call on the institutions to work on new options for #searchEngines to amplify their role in the goal for a safer #online experience.
#KYBC #TrustedFlaggers @RepFranceCdE @charanzova @cedric_o
1/7 For the upcoming #DSA trilogues we call to correct these points: new safe harbour for #SearchEngines will weaken online protection in Art4. Remove this provision & work towards a solution that does not weaken the existing incentives on #SearchEngines
KYBC EU retweeted
Afraid of Friday's 5th #DSA political trilogue, see a few data points below on the econ impact of #counterfeiting - & there's more, ie environmental, health & reputational costs
With the ↗️ of online counterfeiting, we need an ↗️ #KYBC scope & brands as trusted flaggers
KYBC EU retweeted
Brands are best placed to assess the validity of their rights online. Awarding them trusted flagger status will reinforce the efficiency of the fight vs online #counterfeiting & will help platforms spend ↗️ time tackling more complex forms of illegal content

Trilogue negotiators on the #DSA are urged to push for a #KYBC extension which will allow the #creative and #cultural sectors to thrive.
#trustedFlaggers @AlexandraGeese @vestager @RepFranceCdE
2/7 extension of #KYBC obligations to all online intermediaries is needed if the EU is serious about fighting against scams, falsified medicines, #counterfeits and illegal content. Limiting it to online marketplaces means that the #DSA would fail the future-proof test Article13.a
KYBC EU retweeted
Our industries support introducing efficient and effective notice and action mechanisms to help fight #illegalcontent. The faster the process the safer the #online experience will be for online users.

3/7 Notice and Action - Ensuring Expeditious Removal of #illegal Content
#DSA please remove Article 14.3.a - new as it undermines these conditions by suggesting that content should remain accessible while its legality is being assessed @SchaldemoseMEP @ThierryBreton @vestager
KYBC EU retweeted
Survey after survey & rightsholders' experience demonstrate that online #counterfeiting is ↗️ facilitated & promoted beyond marketplaces. This incl social media, livestreaming apps, advertising platforms...
👉#KYBC's scope should be ↗️ so #DSA truly tackles counterfeits
KYBC EU retweeted
The #DSA shouldn’t be pushed, based on political timelines, to conclude it by the end of April. Compromises that will help deliver a safe #online experience should be prioritised over speed of concluding the DSA.
