The European Tech Alliance (EUTA) acknowledges the political agreement reached today by EU Member State representatives on the proposed revision of the EU payment services framework, an important milestone in modernising Europe’s financial ecosystem.

While this agreement is a welcome step toward improving digital payments across the EU, EUTA is concerned that key provisions remain unaddressed and could unintentionally hinder innovation, expose merchants to fraud, and impose disproportionate burdens on businesses.

As part of the Polish Presidency’s Digital Summit, the European Tech Alliance (EUTA), together with Classifieds Marketplaces Europe and Ecommerce Europe, co-hosted a high-level roundtable titled “Scaling European e-commerce: Smart regulation for a fair, resilient and sustainable Single Market.”

European tech companies strongly back the EU’s mission to create a safer digital world for minors, but warn that one-size-fits-all rules could backfire.

The European Tech Alliance (EUTA) welcomes the European Commission’s proposals for the Payment Services Regulation (PSR) and the Third Payment Services Directive (PSD3) as a pivotal opportunity to build a more harmonised, innovative, and competitive payment landscape in Europe.

The European Tech Alliance (EUTA), together with Allegro, addressed the Council’s Working Party on Competitiveness and Growth, contributing to discussions on the European Commission’s initiative, “A Comprehensive EU Toolbox for Safe and Sustainable E-Commerce”.

The European Tech Alliance (EUTA) addressed the European Parliament’s Internal Market and Consumer Protection (IMCO) Committee, highlighting a key challenge: ensuring the effective enforcement of EU e-commerce and product safety legislation.
