The IMCO Working Group (WG) on the Digital Single Market (DSM) restarted its activities on 02.03.15 under the Chairmanship of Ms Thun. Created in 2011, the WG led to the adoption of a number of parliamentary resolutions and became a key platform for in-depth discussion where Members of the EP, the EC, stakeholders and experts exchange views, identify new opportunities and challenges, remaining barriers and propose concrete measures to overcome them in order to make the DSM in the EU a reality.

The importance of the digital economy is widely acknowledged, and the EU has adopted numerous initiatives over the past years to promote the DSM and to exploit the growth opportunities offered by the digital economy. In the past few years, important progress has been made but, however, it is clear that the DSM is far from complete: business and consumers continue facing significant barriers that prevent them from reaping the full benefits it has to offer. The WG Group will continue pursuing its aim of advancing further towards completion of the DSM, unleashing its potential and capitalise on new business opportunities that the digital economy could bring to the EU.

WG Chair: Ms R. Thun Und Hohenstein (EPP)

Honorary Members: Mrs. V. Ford (ECR), Mrs. A. M. CORAZZA BILDT (EPP), Mrs. D. CHARANZOVA (ALDE), Mrs. C. STIHLER, (S&D), Mr. N. DANTI (S&D).

Under the title: How can we fight against the fake-news phenomenon to have a Digital Single Market based on trust? MEPs, Representatives of the European Commission and Participants will discuss on the challenges and opportunities of this proposal at the working group meeting on 19 March. Reliable sources of information are key to well-functioning Digital Single Market - misinformation or fake-news have direct effects on consumers behaviour and the decisions they make on the market.

On 03.05.2016, IMCO negotiators reached an informal deal with Council on the first EU-wide rules to make public sector bodies' websites and mobile applications accessible for people with disabilities. Over 167 million EU citizens who have a disability (medical or due to age) are prevented from accessing data/services on the Internet. Many websites lack adequately adapted content for the blind, the deaf and the hard of hearing as well as for those with low vision and with functional disabilities.

The Directive will set out minimum conditions for accessibility and it requires regular monitoring and reporting of the sites and apps' accessibility by Member States. Thanks to the EP's efforts, the deal also covers mobile applications and the scope is extended to cover all public sector bodies. They have to prepare an "accessibility statement" on their compliance with the directive, explaining which parts of their website or app are not accessible. The Directive also enables individuals to request specific information "on-demand" if the content is inaccessible. Furthermore, users can notify any failures to comply with the requirements of the Directive via a feedback mechanism. MS will have to designate an authority tasked with monitoring and enforcing these rules.
