Subject: Nomination of the members of the Digital Services Committee
Your Excellency,
Regulation (EU) 2022/2065 of the European Parliament and of the European Council on
a Single Market for Digital Services and amending Directive 2000/31/EC (Digital
Services Act, DSA) was published in the Official Journal on 27 October 2022 (1), and it
entered into force on 16 November 2022.
The DSA confers implementing powers on the Commission for the adoption of
implementing acts in accordance with Article 291(2) of the Treaty on the Functioning of
the European Union. To this end, the DSA foresees in Article 88 that the European
Commission will be assisted by a Digital Services Committee, a committee within the
meaning of Regulation (EU) No 182/2011.2
The Digital Services Committee came to existence with the entry into force of the DSA
on 16 November 2022. The Digital Services Committee will provide an opinion on draft
implementing acts of the Commission in all circumstances and occasions laid down in
the DSA itself. This would include notably the draft implementing acts envisaged in
Articles 15, 24, 43, 83 and 85 of the DSA.
The constituent meeting of the Digital Services Committee is scheduled to take place in
Brussels on 12 January and will be organized in online format.
Therefore, we would like to kindly request that your Member State nominates one
representative, and if needed, alternative representatives, who will represent your country
in this committee.

meeting.
While we intend to provide you with further information on the process during the
constituent meeting, we would already like to inform you that we intend to organize at
least one more meeting of the Digital Services Committee where the draft Implementing
Regulation will be formally discussed and voted on (currently planned for early February
2023). The adoption of the Implementing Regulation is currently envisaged for March
