The Commission has proposed a Declaration on digital rights and principles for a human-centred digital transformation.

Find the Communication, Declaration and Staff Working Document on European digital principles below.

The Declaration on digital rights and principles aims to give everyone a clear reference point about the kind of digital transformation Europe promotes and defends. It also provide a guide for policy makers and companies when dealing with new technologies. The rights and freedoms enshrined in the EU's legal framework, and the European values expressed by the principles, should be respected online as they are offline. The Declaration also define the approach to the digital transformation which the EU will promote throughout the world.
