• the Decisions on the way to the Digital Decade,
• the Directive on measures to achieve a high common level of cybersecurity in the Union and

 We highlighted the importance of the digital sector for sustainable development. The digital sector is important for digital infrastructure and the sustainable transition of the economy.

Slovenia welcomed the initiative on standardized methods for assessing the direct footprint of information and communication technologies. We believe that "the first and foremost thing to do is to monitor the life cycles of digital equipment and the contribution of digital technology to the sustainability neutrality of other sectors, and stressed the importance of monitoring new digital equipment throughout its entire life cycle, from design to recycling, and to prolong the life of products." Slovenia proposes that the digital sustainability challenges should also be addressed in a horizontal and holistic manner.
