European Union needs a digital agency to address enforcement gaps

Euronews Portugal1 September 2026 at 06:48

The European Union faces an enforcement gap in its digital rules and needs to create a European digital agency to address this failure, according to experts. The study argues that the creation of this body would allow existing digital rules in European legislation to be applied in practice. The need for greater supervision arises in response to the difficulties encountered in the effective implementation of these rules. The experts who prepared the study point to significant failures in the current EU enforcement system in the digital domain.

Sánchez points to Russia and Israel in the Ceuta crisis. "Only it wasn't Moscow that transported them by truck" and Tel Aviv "does not have and never has had" a disinformation policy like Russia's

Spanish Prime Minister Pedro Sánchez pointed to Russia and Israel as responsible for the migratory crisis in Ceuta, but the former director of SIED, Jorge Silva Carvalho, considers these accusations exaggerated. Although he recognizes that Russia has been using immigration for years as an instrument of hybrid warfare and social media to deepen divisions in European democracies, the intelligence specialist pointed out that Moscow was not directly responsible for transporting migrants by truck and that Israel never had a disinformation policy comparable to the Russian one. In his analysis, these disinformation campaigns continue to be effective because their main objective is to empower the extremes in democratic societies.
