The EU committee does not want to leave its regulation of technology companies in the trade conflict with the United States. “The legislation will not be changed,” said spokesman Thomas Regnier committee on Monday in Brussels at the daily press conference.
The Digital Markets Act (DMA) (LAW on Digital Markets) and the Digital Services Act (Law on Digital Services) “are not up for discussion during trade discussions with the US,” he added.
Previously, Canada went to the United States in the trade conflict. According to her own statements, the government in Ottawa has withdrawn its digital tax against American technology companies on Sunday to promote negotiations with the neighbor.
Prime Minister Mark Carney and US President Donald Trump would resume negotiations to agree on an agreement by July 21, said the Canadian Ministry of Finance. On Friday, Trump abruptly ended the commercial conversations with Canada because of the digital load. He criticized the tax as an “open attack” and announced that it would make a new duty to Canadian goods.
According to Mexico, Canada is the second largest trading partner in the United States and the largest customer of American exports. Last year the country bought US goods worth $ 349.4 billion (around 300 billion euros) and exported goods worth $ 412.7 billion to the US, as can be seen from data from American statistics.
