Making Europe Fit for the Digital Age: EU Commissioner for Competition

The one thing we have learned is that while Zoom is fine and brings us to a certain level, we cannot beat face-to-face conversations in the same room and, as the Commissioner said, seeing the twinkle in people's eyes and reading the body language. We do miss that and we look forward to getting back to that day very soon.
I thank the Commissioner most sincerely for being with us today and for being so generous with her time and information. I know all of the committee members will concur with this thought and sentiment. The Commissioner's contribution today has been very useful in the work the committee is doing on the online safety and media regulation Bill. I thank the Commissioner and wish her well.
