A journalist asks the Commission to confirm its opinion on France’s digital majority age law, why it is negative, what issues it raises, and why it was issued before the special panel’s report; the spokesperson stresses shared objectives to protect minors online, explains the need for EU-law compliance and avoiding fragmentation, cites DSA enforcement and Article 28, and notes that upcoming special panel recommendations will guide further EU-level action.

Intervenant 2

I've seen reports that the Commission has sent an opinion to France regarding their digital majority age law, which France had notified to the Commission earlier this year. So I wanted to know if you confirm this is the case. Why is your opinion a negative one? What are the issues in the French law? And then finally, why did you do it now and not wait until after next Monday when the special panel is going to give its report back on this topic?

Thanks.
