Despite warnings, the European Union has approved a digital trade agreement with Singapore, a setback for digital rights and democratic oversight.

The European Parliament has approved the EU-Singapore digital trade agreement and rejected a motion to request an opinion from the Court of Justice of the European Union regarding its legality. This decision weakens the Union's ability to guarantee privacy, data protection, and accountability with regard to software systems, at a time when the pressure to ease regulations is increasing across Europe.
