This year, on June 10th 2016, Marietje Schaake will take part in a panel of EuroDIG 2016 together with the following participants:
• Göran Marby, President and CEO, ICANN
• John Frank, Vice President, EU Government Affairs, Microsoft
• Roberto Viola, Director, DG Connect, European Commission
• Elfa Ýr Gylfadóttir, Director, Icelandic Media Commission and Chair of the Council of Europe CDMSI
• Moderators: Paul Fehlinger, Co-Founder and Manager, Internet & Jurisdiction and Wolfgang Kleinwächter, Professor emeritus, Aarhus University
This panel will take place from 16.30-18.00 and is about internet fragmentation and digital sovereignty: implications for Europe and will discuss what we mean by ‘Internet fragmentation’ and ‘digital sovereignty;’ what the social, political and economic costs of unintended fragmentation are; and what Europe should do to address this challenge.
The traditional international system is based upon the notion of territorial sovereignty. Can we apply national jurisdiction on the Internet without re-aligning the cross-border network along geographic boundaries or extending jurisdiction extraterritoriality? Do we have the necessary legal tools and frameworks in place that a transnational Internet demands? In the European context, debates around Internet fragmentation and digital sovereignty increase in the context of the enforcement of the right to be de-indexed, privacy protection and data localization, as well as the Digital Single Market.
