Mr. Kees Van Meerten, Director, Signify

Moderated by: Ourania Georgoutsakou, Secretary General, LightingEurope

Join us to discuss how to ensure that only safe and quality products reach the EU market: Does the proposed Digital Services Act close the legal gaps for product compliance online? To which extent would these measures prevent the listing and re-listing of illegal goods online? Does it ensure there is always an economic actor within the EU jurisdiction who takes on all the product compliance obligations? We will address all these points with our panelists.
