Calls for the swift and effective implementation of the surveillance and sanction measures provided for in Regulation (EU) 2017/2394, Regulation (EU) 2019/10201a, Regulation (EU) 2022/2065, and Regulation (EU) 2023/9881b when online platforms offer or sell illegal, dangerous or non-compliant products, in order to ensure a high level of consumer protection, with particular attention to minors as a highly vulnerable group requiring reinforced safeguards, notably to combat child sexual abuse; considers that these measures remain insufficient and that actions such as the temporary or even permanent suspension of the website concerned should be easily and swiftly applicable at national level; ____________ 1a Regulation (EU) 2019/1020 of the European Parliament and of the Council of 20 June 2019 on market surveillance and compliance of products and amending Directive 2004/42/EC and Regulations (EC) No 765/2008 and (EU) No 305/2011 (OJ L 169, 25.6.2019, p. 1, ELI: http://data.europa.eu/eli/reg/2019/1020/oj). 1b Regulation (EU) 2023/988 of the European Parliament and of the Council of 10 May 2023 on general product safety, amending Regulation (EU) No 1025/2012 of the European Parliament and of the Council and Directive (EU) 2020/1828 of the European Parliament and the Council, and repealing Directive 2001/95/EC of the European Parliament and of the Council and Council Directive 87/357/EEC (OJ L 135, 23.5.2023, p. 1, ELI: http://data.europa.eu/eli/reg/2023/988/oj).

Motion for a resolution

Paragraph 18 a (new)

Motion for a resolutionAmendment
18a. Stresses that the protection of minors requires targeted and effective measures, while emphasising that the fight against child sexual abuse cannot justify disproportionate intrusions into privacy and the confidentiality of correspondence; points out in this regard that the ‘Chat Control’ proposal exemplifies such disproportionate measures, as it would mandate the preventive scanning of all EU citizens’ private communications, constituting a disproportionate intrusion into privacy in disregard of Article 7 of the Charter of Fundamental Rights of the European Union, which guarantees respect for private and family life, home and communications;

Motion for a resolution

Paragraph 28

Motion for a resolutionAmendment
28. Calls for the establishment of a harmonised European digital age limit of 16 as the default threshold under which access to online social media platforms should not be allowed unless parents or guardians have authorised their children otherwise; calls for the same age limit to apply to video-sharing platforms and AI companions that present risks to minors; calls, furthermore, for a harmonised European digital age limit of 13, under which no minor can access social media platforms; calls on the panel of experts commissioned by President von der Leyen to assess, as part of their mandate, the application of an age limit of 13 for video-sharing services and AI companions; stresses that this would serve as a protective measure to support parents in managing their children’s digital presence and ensuring age-appropriate online engagement;28. Recognises the diverse perspectives among Member States regarding appropriate age limits for access to online social media platforms, for video-sharing services and AI companions; stresses that establishing digital age limits remains within the remit of Member States; calls for any age limits to be determined in consultation with child development experts and psychologists; recognises that while a coordinated European approach regarding an age limit of 13 could be beneficial, Member States should retain the flexibility to set appropriate thresholds based on expert guidance and their own cultural, educational and parental approaches, with provisions allowing minors to access platforms with parental or guardian authorisation; stresses that such measures would serve to support parents in managing their children’s digital presence and ensuring age-appropriate online engagement;
