2016: Important consultations for digital rights
Last update: 2 November 2016. Like every year, EDRi aims at engaging civil society, our readers and supporters to respond to public consultations launched by EU institutions and bodies, as well as international organisations. Public consultations are unique opportunities to influence policy-making at an early stage.
In this blogpost, you can find all the public consultations which we deemed to be relevant for digital rights in 2016 (see the ones from last year here). We will update this blogpost with EDRi responses and other information that can help you be engaged.
