The Digital Networks Act (DNA) can help the EU build a more coherent connectivity framework for businesses operating across borders. Today, fragmented rules and complex compliance obligations continue to hold back innovation and Europe’s competitiveness.

To this end, the DNA must reduce – not add to – regulatory complexity, ensure legal certainty and avoid duplication with existing EU legislation. It should support investment in next-generation networks while avoiding duplication with existing EU frameworks. Clear scope will be essential to prevent unintended overlap with cloud, content delivery networks or private networks.

Intel has called Ireland home since 1989, investing more than €30 billion and supporting 4,900 jobs. Alongside this long-term commitment, the company is helping strengthen local communities through its Signature Charity initiative. For the past 16 years, the Intel Foundation and Intel employees have selected a charity each year to support through volunteering and fundraising. In 2025, Intel Ireland chose Teach Tearmainn, the only organisation in County Kildare dedicated to supporting women and children experiencing domestic violence and abuse. Through fun runs, cycling events, a triathlon, a giving campaign, employee-led fundraising and recycling initiatives, Intel employees raised €80,000 for the charity – the company’s largest charity donation to date. These efforts show how long-term investment, employee engagement and community partnerships can help deliver meaningful support where it is needed most. Read the full story on Invested in Europe.

AmCham EU is relieved to see the European Parliament and Member States reach an agreement on the tariff reduction proposals linked to the EU-US Framework Agreement. The co-legislators’ compromise is a critical step for businesses that rely on a stable transatlantic trade and investment relationship. 

The EU‑US commercial relationship is the largest in the world. It supports millions of European and American jobs and underpins deeply integrated value chains on both sides of the Atlantic. While AmCham EU opposes broad-based tariffs, given political priorities on both sides of the Atlantic, the EU-US Framework Agreement still provides the most realistic path to a workable and more constructive transatlantic trade and investment environment that helps businesses plan and grow in an increasingly volatile global context. The trilogue agreement is a sign that the EU is honouring its commitments under the deal.  

Member States and the European Parliament must now formally confirm this outcome at the earliest possible opportunity. Completing this process will allow the EU and the US to move beyond tariffs and advance the broader cooperation set out in the Joint Statement, including on critical supply chains, non‑market practices and economic security.
