Christiane Wendehorst participated in the European Commission’s Expert Group meetings in Brussels on 15–16 January and 13–14 February 2019.

The aim of the Expert Group is to provide the Commission with expertise on the applicability of the Product Liability Directive to traditional products, new technologies and new societal challenges (Product Liability Directive formation). Furthermore it assists the Commission in developing principles that can serve as guidelines for possible adaptations of applicable laws at EU and national level relating to new technologies (New Technologies formation).

 

At the first of the above meetings the EU Cybersecurity Framework was presented by a representative from DG CNECT, following which draft reports on insurance and on cyber security were discussed, among other things. At the second meeting, those present deliberated on draft reports on the right of redress and on damages.
