News Media Europe submitted its comments to the European Commission’s public consultation on a fair and competitive digital economy – digital levy. Please find the full submission here.

News Media Europe calls for:

• Exclusion of news related services from the scope of any future proposal, consistent with agreed political priorities in the European Media Action Plan (MAAP) and the Democracy Action Plan (EDAP).
• Ensure that the scope of any future proposal is focused on the problems the policy seeks to address eg. large technology companies that do not pay their fair share of taxes, which will also help foster a genuine level playing field.
