Goals / Remit
The mission of Sony's External Relations Europe team is to promote Sony and Sony’s positions to the stakeholders that are involved in the development of laws and policies at European and national level. Such activity is performed directly through our contacts with EU officials and for national issues through our network of contacts in the local Sony organisations. Another - indirect - route for lobbying is through our influence within various industry associations. The objective of these actions is always to enhance the positive effects on our business and/or to limit the negative aspects.
Main EU files targeted
Digital Single Market Strategy, General Data Protection Regulation, ePrivacy Regulation, copyright reform, AVMS Directive revision, consumer protection, technical & regulatory issues, environmental policy, trade policy, eHealth.
