MEPs have sharply criticized the plan. “Our fear is that the implementation of our laws and standards will be called into question by American companies,” criticizes Green MEP Sergey Lagodinsky, for example. “If this is confirmed, it would be nothing less than a capitulation to the pressure and intimidation tactics of the Trump administration.” The EU Commission repeatedly emphasizes that it does not want to change its regulations due to US pressure. However, some of the recently proposed changes in digital legislation, particularly to the AI Act and the General Data Protection Regulation, primarily benefit US companies that are already dominant in the market.
The whiplash of dreaming about resisting Americans in Europe and waking up to read this…
Big EU Commission L as per usual. Maybe we should rename them to EU Corruption?
MEPs: generally US-skeptical
Council: mixed opinions on the US, by issue
EU Commission: follows the US’ lead on everything
Shouldn’t the Commission be taking at least some of its cues from elected leaders?
EU commission is where EU politicians are sent by their parties when they are too corrupt and/or unpopular in their own country. It‘s by design.
and unfortunately they have a lotbof power
As far as I’m concerned, the Commission is nominated by the Council, and elected by the Parliament. Parliament can force resignation, if necessary, by a two-thirds majority vote.
If Europe is to remain European, we must be able to fend for ourselves, being fully independent from the US, yet making sure the US depends on us.
I do wonder why don’t they just send them home
Trump has made it illegal for states to regulate AI.
Anybody who is wanting to be “collaborating” with Trump on regulating for safety, or for economic-safety … is delusional/incompetent.
Stand your ground, XOR you’re being … harvested, as prey.

Yeah, this.
If there’s a race for AI (debatable), the US wins because of its lack of regulation. We should not even want to compete.
No, USA must go it alone. No please eu, execute the laws that we have now.
Don’t succumb to bullies. Protect your citizens.
Fucking spineless
Clueless too
