Committee on European Union Affairs

Engagement with Coimisiún na Meán

2:00 am

Dr. John Evans:

No, it is very straightforward. Most regulators have the power to issue statutory information requests. This means that whoever is in receipt of one of those has to respond to it and has to provide the information that is requested. We have that power under the Digital Services Act but only after we open up an investigation. What we are looking for is to have that power ahead of opening up an investigation when we are doing supervision activity.
