Recital 7 a (new)

Text proposed by the Commission

Amendment

(7 a) The Commission’s implementing reports of 19 December 2023 and 27 November 2025 (the “2023 and 2025 implementing reports”) do not provide conclusive evidence regarding the proportionality of this derogation, nor do they contain sufficiently detailed information on the different categories of CSAM detected or on whether the reported detections resulted from voluntary measures by service providers or from reports by helplines or users. This lack of clarity raises serious questions as to the necessity and added value of establishing a costly EU agency in the future, particularly given that the vast majority of detection activities by providers appear to rely primarily on obligations stemming from United States law.
