One in three internet users in Europe is a child (persons younger than 18 years old), spending on average 6,5 hours online daily.

Renew Europe calls upon EU policy makers to take the interests of children into account from the start of EU law-making, to ensure children can enjoy the digital world in a safe way. Renew Europe calls on the Commission to include the following recommendations in its work programme and future legislation.
