D9+ Ministerial Declaration
As the European Union stands at a crucial juncture in shaping its digital future, the D9+ calls for increasing the EU's digital competitiveness and tech sovereignty in an open manner. Welcoming the Commission’s ambitious Competitiveness Compass, the D9+ calls for a coherent and forward-looking European strategic approach to technology with a strong human-centric and rights oriented digital component. This strategic approach should bridge between the different existing initiatives, while encompassing the relevant policy goals from the Digital Decade.
