Invitation: EPP Group Press Briefing on Cyberbullying

Tuesday, 28 April at 14.30 | Press Bar, European Parliament, Strasbourg

Tomas Tobé MEP, vice-chair of the EPP Group and the Group’s negotiator on cyberbullying, invites journalists to a press briefing on “Coco's Law at EU level: tackling cyberbullying and online harassment”, ahead of this week’s plenary debate and vote in the European Parliament.

The briefing will take place on Tuesday, 28 April at 14.30 in the Press Bar, European Parliament, Strasbourg.

The EPP Group is calling for stronger action to protect children and young people online and to make the digital environment in Europe the safest for the next generation. This means stronger legislation, real accountability for perpetrators, and zero tolerance for cyberbullying and online abuse.

On Wednesday, on the EPP Group's initiative, the European Parliament will debate and vote on a resolution calling for stronger EU action. The resolution encourages the Commission to explore the development of a comprehensive EU legislative initiative. This will build on best practices from Member States, including Ireland’s “Coco’s Law”, with a view to ensuring a high and uniform level of protection across the Union.
