by Patrik Fältström 20 Jul '19

20 Jul '19

Hi, As you can see below European Commission just released human rights guidance for 3 business sectors. I have helped COM and specifically IHRB with their piece of the work, and I know others on this list have also helped. Everything from more formal support to extremely good comments that have helped making the documents what they finally ended up being. Patrik Fältström Head of Research and Development Netnod Begin forwarded message: > From: <entr-csr(a)ec.europa.eu> > Subject: From the European Commission: human rights guidance for 3 business sectors > Date: 17 juni 2013 18:23:09 CEST > To: <entr-csr(a)ec.europa.eu> > > We are pleased to announce the publication of the European Commission Sector Guides on Implementing the UN Guiding Principles on Business and Human Rights. > > > Download the Guides here: http://ec.europa.eu/enterprise/newsroom/cf/itemdetail.cfm?item_id=6711&lang… > > The Guides – for employment and recruitment agencies, ICT companies, and oil and gas companies – were developed over the past 18 months by Shift and IHRB through extensive research and multistakeholder consultation with representatives from the three industries as well as governments, trade unions, civil society, academia and other experts. Read more about the Guides’ development here. > > Each Guide offers practical advice on how to implement the corporate responsibility to respect human rights in day-to-day business operations in each industry through step-by-step guidance. At each step, they summarise what the UN Guiding Principles expect, offer a range of approaches and examples for how to put them into practice, and link users to additional resources that can support their work. They are intended to help companies “translate” respect for human rights into their own systems and cultures. > > Many thanks to all those who have contributed to this process. > > Best regards, > > > CSR Team > > European Commission > Enterprise and Industry Directorate-General > Unit ENTR.D.1 >

"On Wednesday, large chunks of network traffic belonging to MasterCard, Visa, and more than two dozen other financial services companies were briefly routed through a Russian government-controlled telecom under unexplained circumstances that renew lingering questions about the trust and reliability of some of the most sensitive Internet communications." https://arstechnica.com/security/2017/04/russian-controlled-telecom-hijacks…

Participatory webinar on “Cybersecurity and its impact on EU-US ICT collaboration”.
by Gordon Lennox 24 Apr '17

24 Apr '17

"The PICASSO project is organizing a participatory webinar on “Cybersecurity and its impact on EU-US ICT collaboration”. The aim of this webinar is to discuss and refine policy recommendations designed to improve EU-US ICT-oriented collaborations – specifically in three technological domains: 5G networks; Big Data; and the Internet of Things/Cyber-physical systems (IoT/CPS). Focus is set on the implications of technological developments for cybersecurity policy, taking into account the different approaches towards cybersecurity being taken in the USA and in Europe, the technical and socio-economic backgrounds and new developments likely to affect the security and vulnerability of ICT systems. The participatory and interactive webinar will validate initial conclusions based on a policy briefing on Cybersecurity and its impact on EU/US ICT Policy collaborationprepared by the PICASSO ICT Policy Expert Group.” See: http://www.picasso-project.eu/newsevents/project-events/webinar-cybersecuri…

Next Generation Internet Initiative - consultation
by Gordon Lennox 20 Apr '17

20 Apr '17

From Politico this morning: COMMISSION LAUNCHES MEGA SET OF INTERNET CONSULTATIONS: In an unusual move, the Commission is launching nearly a dozen consultations on the internet, with a dozen media partners. The surveys will be cover the impact of the digital world on jobs, health, government, and democracy, on privacy and security, artificial intelligence, net neutrality, and big data. The consultations are conducted for the Commission by REIsearch and in partnership with El País, Frankfurter Allgemeine Zeitung, The Guardian, Il Sole 24 Ore, La Libre Belgique, Gazeta Wyborcza, Luxemburger Wort, Público, The Lancet, Cell, and Der Standard. That’s innovative and inclusive at one level: millions more will now be prompted to participate. One the other hand, there are 19 EU countries without a media partner, and the media partners range inconsistently from business newspapers to medical journals. “Science should be open and freed from its traditional ivory tower; to be discussed, submitted to critique and fed with new perspectives,” said Jean-Claude Juncker. Playbook readers can complete the first questionnaire here: https://reisearch.eu/initiatives/next-generation-internet/1/en And some EU tech policy "gossip”: COMMISSION — OETTINGER AND ANSIP, THE ODD COUPLE: Questions remain about who is in charge of EU tech policy, more than three months after Oettinger officially gave up his job as digital commissioner, Joanna Plucinska reports. Commissioner Oettinger gets lobbyist attention, but as Vice President Ansip’s former colleagues and staff in Estonia have noted to Playbook: He didn’t survive 30 years in national and European politics without the patience and steel needed to achieve long-term objectives. http://www.politico.eu/article/digital-europe-andrus-ansip-and-gunther-oett…
