EBU calls on EU lawmakers to preserve radio in cars in the Digital Networks Act

On 18 May, the EBU published its policy position on the Digital Networks Act (DNA). “The DNA has the potential to support a more connected, inclusive, and resilient Europe.

EU lawmakers must consider the far-reaching implications of the DNA and safeguard key principles within it,” said Vincent Sneed, Senior EU Policy Adviser, EBU.
