Priority question for written answer  P-002681/2025/rev.1
to the Commission
Rule 144
Fernand Kartheiser (NI)

In her answer to priority question P-001672/2025[1] on the review of the Digital Services Act in November 2025, Executive Vice-President Virkkunen discusses a number of points that raise questions as to how the assessment will be conducted. Those questions require clarification.

• 1.What is ‘the ongoing work of the Simplification Package’, what exactly does that work entail and what methodology will be used for the review process?
• 2.What are the ‘variety of stakeholders’ (civil society organisations, companies and regulatory authorities) and the ‘other relevant analysis’ on which it intends to base its evaluation report?
• 3.Can the Commission specify the amount and budget years during which the ‘stakeholders’ referred to in paragraph 2 received funding? What ‘other relevant analysis’ has also received Commission funding?
