IEA: EU Parliament advances in strengthening the role of Free Software, yet needs more to improve...

<p>
The two EP Committees for opinion, IMCO and LIBE,
<a href="/news/2023/news-20230629-02.html">
have adopted their texts on the Interoperable Europe Act
</a>
. While both recognise the importance of Free Software for this regulation, the inclusion of the Free Software community in the Board remains uncertain. The wording on proper monitoring and evaluation goes in the right direction.

...and Council to exclude relevant stakeholders from contributing to an Interoperable Europe
</h3>
<p>
The current draft from the Council on the Interoperable Europe Act is limiting the Interoperable Europe Board, and with this excluding relevant stakeholders from contributing to a more interoperable and innovative Europe. There is also a lack of improved wording in the area of monitoring and budgeting.

Artificial Intelligence: EU: Majority for AI Act and safeguards for Free Software
</h3>
<p>
The European Parliament voted in favour of the AI Act with 499 votes in favour, 28 against, and 93 abstentions. Free Software is given safeguards; these rules must now be defended in the inter-institutional negotiations (also known as trialogue in which representatives of the Parliament, the Council and the Commission agree on an final text) and transferred to the Cyber Resilience Act and the Product Liability Directive.
