COMMUNICATION FROM THE COMMISSION Commission Guidelines for providers of Very Large Online Platforms and Very Large Online Search Engines on the mitigation of systemic risks for electoral processes pursuant to Article 35(3) of Regulation (EU) 2022/2065 · European Union

| 66. | Providers of VLOPs and VLOSEs should also take into account the unique cross-border and European dimension of these elections, when assigning appropriate risk mitigation resources. Campaigning will not only be national, and the debate will occur across borders. In addition to establishing contact with the relevant national authorities, the Commission recommends that providers of VLOPs and VLOSEs establish contact with EU-level authorities before the elections. The European Parliament plays a key role in the European elections and should be a key interlocutor for VLOPs and VLOSEs ahead of these elections. EU-wide networks of national experts in the areas of disinformation and FIMI, elections and cybersecurity such as the EU Rapid Alert System, European Cooperation Network on Elections and the NIS Cooperation Group could be relevant networks for providers of VLOPs and VLOSEs in case of cross-border incidents, including those of a hybrid nature, during the electoral period that require a rapid response and deployment of risk mitigating measures.
