# Temporary derogation from certain provisions of the ePrivacy Directive to combat online child sexual abuse

European Parliament procedure 2025/0429(COD) (COD - Ordinary legislative procedure (ex-codecision procedure), 10th term, committee LIBE). Stage: Awaiting Council decision, 2nd reading. 35 committee amendments tabled by 11 Members between 2026-02-10 and 2026-02-10.

## What the amendments focus on

This procedure creates a temporary derogation from the ePrivacy Directive to combat online child sexual abuse. The amendments extend the existing voluntary regime while adding safeguards: protecting end-to-end encryption, restricting scanning to known child sexual abuse material in videos and images, requiring accuracy and human confirmation, and invoking the Charter of Fundamental Rights and proportionality. Several propose different end dates or oppose extending voluntary scanning.
