Joint Oireachtas Committee on Jobs, Enterprise and Innovation

General Scheme of the Digital Services Bill 2023: Discussion

Ms Sabha Greene:

This applies regardless of where the provider is established. They do not have to be established in the EU. We expect some will only have a legal representative in the EU. Once a company is providing a service to people in the EU, it is bound by the regulation. In that regard, there is some extraterritorial effect. There are a lot of negotiations that go on at international level. There is a trade and technology council between the US and the EU where these issues are dealt with. They try to come up with joint approaches, for example, on artificial intelligence but also on these areas. There is one with China as well and one is being set up with India.
