European Parliament procedure 2023/2062(INI) (INI - Own-initiative procedure, 9th term, committee JURI). Stage: Procedure completed. 100 committee amendments tabled by 10 Members between 2023-11-07 and 2023-11-07.

## What the amendments focus on

An own-initiative report on the policy implications of the development of virtual worlds, covering civil, company, commercial and intellectual property law issues. The amendments note the lack of harmonised definitions of 'metaverse' and 'virtual world', stress standardisation, interoperability and the principle that what is illegal offline should be illegal online, list applicable EU legislation (the Digital Services Act, proposed AI Act and GDPR), and raise concerns over VR sensor data.
