Ann Linde takes initiative at EU level for a ‘Digital 9’ group
Published
At the initiative of Minister for EU Affairs and Trade Ann Linde, the Government today welcomed a number of European ministerial colleagues to Stockholm to form a 'Digital 9' group (D9). The aim is to begin a new collaboration and, in doing so, take on a leading role in the EU when it comes to pushing forward the agenda on digitalisation issues and creating a digital single market within the EU.
"There is currently a need for renewed efforts focusing on what the EU is able to achieve and contribute. Sweden, together with the Baltic and the Benelux countries, can be considered digital frontrunners in Europe. We have made considerable progress on digital matters and also have the most to gain from the reforms proposed by the European Commission actually being implemented. Together, we are a strong voice when it comes to influencing the EU in the right direction," says Ms Linde.
