A notice of meeting and provisional agenda published by the Council of the European Union on 24 June 2026 schedules the Working Party on Telecommunications and Information Society for 30 June 2026 at 10:00 in the Justus Lipsius Building, Brussels. The meeting will cover the state of the Digital Decade 2026, international digital dialogues, and a presidency handover, with cross-participation from attachés of the Trade Policy Committee and the Working Party on Transatlantic Relations (COTRA) for two items.
The first agenda item is an information from the Commission on the State of the Digital Decade 2026, followed by an exchange of views. Reference documents include ST 10476/26 and its addenda. This item updates member states on progress toward the EU's 2030 digital targets, including connectivity, digital skills, and digitalisation of businesses and public services.
Agenda items 2 and 3 involve Commission briefings on the Pax Silica Summit (25-26 June 2026) and the EU-U.S. Digital Dialogue, respectively. For both items, attachés from COTRA and the Trade Policy Committee (Deputies) are invited to participate, reflecting the cross-cutting nature of digital trade and transatlantic relations. Item 4 covers the EU-Taiwan Digital Economy Dialogue, with a Commission briefing.
Item 5 is a summary of the Cyprus Presidency and a handover to the incoming Irish Presidency, provided by the Presidency. The meeting concludes with any other business. Delegations must register their presence via the delegates portal, and Council documents are available on the Delegates Portal.
The meeting brings together attachés from telecommunications, trade, and transatlantic working parties, indicating coordination across policy areas. No decisions are expected; the agenda is largely informational and preparatory for future Council discussions.
