PARIS, April 14 (Reuters) – French President Emmanuel Macron will host a video call with other EU leaders and European Commission President Ursula von der Leyen to push for a coordinated approach on banning social media for minors, Macron’s office said Tuesday.
Spanish Prime Minister Pedro Sanchez and representatives of Italy, the Netherlands and Ireland will attend the conference call, among others, on Thursday, Macron’s office said, adding that the final list of attendees will be announced later.
“The main goal is to act in a coordinated manner and push the European Commission, in the positive sense of the term, to move ahead at the same pace as member states,” a presidential aide told reporters.
