[Chapter-delegates] IMPORTANT: European Digital Single Market strategy

[Priscilla Kevin]

Thank you Frederic.

A very interesting debate especially with copyright rules and digital bill
of rights.

In PNG we are embarking on looking at IP laws under our PNG ICT cluster
banner and DSM was discussed in last years workshop.

Be interesting to see what will surface and be adopted globally and per
country.

Regards
Priscilla
