The Working Party on Telecommunications and Information Society will meet on 16 and 17 July 2026 in Dublin, Ireland, to discuss digital connectivity, innovation, and regulation, according to a notice of meeting and provisional agenda published by the Council of the European Union on 25 June 2026. The meeting, chaired by the Irish Presidency, will feature presentations on digital connectivity and innovation in Ireland, followed by an exchange of views among member state representatives. A second session will cover digital regulation in Ireland, also with a presentation and exchange of views. The agenda includes a slot for any other business. The meeting is scheduled to start at 08:30 on 16 July and 09:30 on 17 July. The working party, which prepares technical dossiers for the Council's Telecoms Council configuration, will convene in Dublin as part of the rotating Presidency's practice of holding some meetings in the capital. No prior coverage of this specific meeting exists in the available record. The meeting will focus on national experiences rather than advancing specific legislative files, with the Presidency presentations expected to highlight Ireland's approach to digital infrastructure and regulatory frameworks. Stakeholders such as telecom operators and digital service providers may gain insights into potential regulatory trends, while EU institutions will observe member state priorities ahead of future policy discussions. The meeting does not involve binding decisions but may inform the Council's position on upcoming digital legislation.
