SHORT JUSTIFICATION
On 12 September 2018 the Commission submitted the proposal for a Regulation on preventing the dissemination of terrorist content online to the Council and the European Parliament. On 17 April 2019 the European Parliament adopted its first reading position.
The interistitutional negotiations started with the newly elected Parliament in October 2019 with a view to reaching an early second reading agreement. They were successfully concluded on 10 December 2020. The provisionally agreed text was confirmed by COREPER on 16 December 2020 and endorsed by the LIBE Committee on 11 January 2021.
Since the Council’s first reading position adopted on 16 March 2021 fully reflects the agreement reached in early second reading interinstitutional negotiations, the rapporteur recommends that it be endorsed by the European Parliament without amendments, so that the Regulation can be adopted swiftly and enter into force as soon as possible.
