#Tech, Media & Telecom

CERRE Breakfast: How to improve the Digital Networks Act Proposal?

30 September 2026
About
Speakers

About

Join us on 30 September from 8:30 to 9:45 for this CERRE members-only breakfast with Pilar del Castillo, one of Europe’s leading MEPs on EU telecommunications policy and the EPP shadow rapporteur on the DNA. We will discuss the state of the DNA negotiations at the European Parliament and how the Commission proposal may be improved to boost competitiveness (which requires sustainable competition, an internal market, and innovation) and contribute to European sovereignty (which requires the ability and the incentives to invest).

If you would like to continue the conversation on Europe’s telecoms competitiveness and explore the broader policy landscape, join our EU Competitiveness Summit later the same day, from 10:10 to 17:05 online and at the University Foundation.

The event will be held under Chatham House rule and is open to members only. If you want to know more about these sessions, how to become a member of CERRE, and have the opportunity to join these meetings, contact us.
