A European Final Offer Arbitration model?

The Danish Minister for Culture is clear when it comes to big tech and its influence on our democracy, culture and media landscape. With great power comes great responsibility.

And Jakob Engel-Schmidt is ready to act – the minister appointed a mediator in DPCMO’s cases against TikTok and Meta – and most recently against OpenAI. The Minister was active when Google blocked news in Denmark and the ministry contributes to ensure a level playing field.

It is uplifting to experience that it is a priority for the Minister and Denmark that global tech complies with Danish and European legislation and that news media rights are respected and enforceable.

Today Danske Medier and DPCMO discussed a European final offer arbitration model and much more with the Minister. Democracy must be actively defended. So must our information eco-system and cultural diversity. Thank you for an inspiring meeting.
