Report Summary

The proposed digital trade agreement between the EU and Singapore aims to enhance legal certainty and consumer protection in the digital market. Concerns arise regarding its compatibility with EU fundamental rights, particularly data protection and privacy, as the agreement’s safeguards are narrower than those in the EU Charter. The lack of a clear definition for 'source code' could restrict regulatory measures on AI and algorithms, potentially conflicting with EU digital laws. Without an adequacy decision for Singapore under the GDPR, cross-border data transfers remain contentious. The Parliament seeks a Court of Justice opinion to assess the agreement’s compliance with EU treaties.
