Summary

The dossier is a proposed regulation amending the interim regulation derogating from certain provisions of the ePrivacy Directive to combat online child sexual abuse. The amendments address extending the regulation's period of application pending long-term legislation, improving the reporting mechanism from Member States and providers of number-independent interpersonal communications services, the use of specific technology to detect and remove such material, and proposed end dates. Some amendments reject the proposal.

In plenary, Parliament usually votes in steps: first on amendments to the text (sometimes split into parts, so Members can accept one half of a sentence and reject the other), then on the text as a whole. The “main vote” is the one that adopts or rejects the text itself. Each vote below shows exactly which step it was. How voting works →
