Romania, along with 11 other European Union countries, are asking the European Commission to use its prerogatives under the Digital Services Act to protect the integrity of European elections from foreign interference, according to a letter signed by the bloc’s 12 member states, Reuters reports.
In the letter, EU affairs ministers from France, Germany, the Netherlands, Belgium, Cyprus, Croatia, the Czech Republic, Denmark, Greece, Romania, Slovenia and Spain called on the Commission to follow through on its promises to create a European body dedicated to combating foreign information manipulation and interference.
“The recent incidents require urgent and united action to defend future EU elections,” the 12 countries said in the letter. EU diplomats said the letter mainly referred to interference by Russia and China, but also to other cases.
