Joint statement on the INI report: ensuring children’s rights across the online environment

This INI report is a crucial opportunity for the European Parliament to advance on public and
democratic accountability of online platforms.

Together with 31 undersigning organisations and experts from across Europe, Eurochild believes that the upcoming own-initiative (INI) report on the protection of minors must fill existing gaps and push for higher standards in accordance with key principles presented in this statement. As the EU seeks to become a global leader in protecting and empowering children online, Members of the European Parliament now have a critical role to play in addressing shortcomings and ensuring a safe and beneficial digital environment for children.
