The European Board for Digital Services is an independent advisory group that has been established by the Digital Services Act, with effect from 17 February 2024.
The European Board for Digital Services (the "Board") is composed of the Member States’ Digital Services Coordinators and chaired by the European Commission.
As chair of the Board, the European Commission convenes the meetings and prepares the agenda. Additionally, the European Commission provides administrative and analytical support for the activities of the Board. Through the Board, the European Commission and the Digital Services Coordinators cooperate as a cohesive team, taking a European approach to the enforcement of the DSA.
The Board is a cornerstone for the consistent application of the Digital Services Act within the European Union, for the benefit of all European citizens, and its society and economy. Close and trustful cooperation and coordination, taking into account the specific effects of intermediary services in individual Member States, are indispensable for effective and coherent DSA enforcement across the European Union.
For this purpose, the Board advises the Digital Services Coordinators and the European Commission in accordance with the Digital Services Act to achieve the following objectives:
- contributing to the consistent application of the Digital Services Act and effective cooperation of the Digital Services Coordinators and the European Commission with regard to matters covered by the Digital Services Act;
- coordinating and contributing to guidelines and analysis of the European Commission and Digital Services Coordinators and other competent authorities on emerging issues across the internal market with regard to matters covered by the Digital Services Act; and
- assisting the Digital Services Coordinators and the European Commission in the supervision of very large online platforms and very large online search engines.
