IMPORTANT UPDATE 🇧🇪 Belgium now SUPPORTS the compromise proposal IN PRINCIPLE, despite contradicting promises to citizens: reverts to UNDECIDED. 🇮🇹 Italy is UNDECIDED, expressing doubts on including new CSAM in scope. 🇱🇻 Latvia is UNDECIDED but assesses the text positively, pending national support. image

Germany's position has been reverted to UNDECIDED. Despite expressing concerns about breaking end-to-end encryption, Germany refrained from taking a definitive stance on the Chat Control proposal during the September 12th LEWP meeting.
