A few words about us

EuroISPA is a pan European association of European Internet Services Providers Associations (ISPAs). It is the world’s largest association of Internet Services Providers (ISPs), representing over 3,300 ISPs across the EU and EFTA countries – including ISPs from Austria, Belgium, the Czech Republic, Finland, France, Germany, Italy, the Netherlands and the UK.

The association was established in 1997 to represent the European ISP industry on EU policy and legislative issues and to facilitate the exchange of best-practices between national ISP associations. Its secretariat is located in Brussels.

EuroISPA is recognised as the voice of the European ISP industry and is the largest ‘umbrella’ association of Internet Services Providers in the world. EuroISPA’s success to date is due to the fact that it reflects the views of ISPs of all sizes from across its member base.

EuroISPA contribution to the Targeted initiative to support the CDSM review process

EuroISPA welcomes the European Commission's targeted initiative to review the Copyright in the Digital Single Market Directive (CDSM Directive), which represents an important opportunity to ensure that copyright law is fit for the digital age. While sharing the Commission's commitment to an effective and future-proof copyright framework, EuroISPA urges that any policy response be proportionate, evidence-based, and directed at actors who have the practical ability to act. EuroISPA's contribution addresses three areas of direct relevance to its members: the challenges posed by network-level blocking in the context of online piracy, the implications of generative AI for the text and data mining framework established by Articles 3 and 4 of the CDSM Directive, and the need for greater harmonisation of the private copying exception.

EuroISPA contribution to the proposal on the Digital Networks Act

While supporting the overall objectives of greater harmonisation, simplification, and futureproofing of the regulatory framework, EuroISPA presents a set of targeted recommendations to support co-legislators in refining the proposal.
