European Chamber Presents Position Paper to Deputy Director General of DG CONNECT Khalil Rouhana

On 25th September, the Chamber’s Secretary General Adam Dunnett and representatives from the Information and Communication Technology (ICT) and Cybersecurity Working Groups met with Khalil Rouhana, Deputy Director General of the European Commission’s Directorate General for Communications Networks, Content and Technology (DG CONNECT).

In the meeting, which took place ahead of the EU-China ICT Policy Dialogue, the European Chamber gave an overview of the key findings in its recent publications, the Position Paper 2018/2019, Business Confidence Survey 2018 and 18 Months Since Davos.

While fully recognising the positive developments witnessed in the ICT business environment in the past year, the Chamber expressed concerns about existing market barriers and operational burdens for international firms in areas such as telecoms/cloud computing, standardisation, cybersecurity and research and development (R&D).
