You're welcome. :)

>Who is involved with actions 60 and 91?

First of all, I must bore you by specifying that an initiative of the European Commission is, as the name implies, of the European Commission. In other words, whether a particular policy area is under the portfolio of any specific Commissioner or technically handled by a particular Directorate-General/Service of the Commission, this does not change the collective responsibility of the College of Commissioners as a whole when adopting an initiative. My experience (probably wrong in the case of this mailing list) is that this detail is often unclear and a source of misunderstandings.

Anyway, hoping you are still awake: action 60 (Fighting European Cybercrime) is under the main responsibility of Commissioner Maelstrom and therefore of the Directorate-General for Home Affairs (DG HOME); action 91 (Initiative on notice and takedown procedures) is under the main responsibility of Commissioner Barnier and therefore of the Directorate-General for the Internal Market (DG MARKT).

In both cases DG Information Society and Media (INFSO) is closely involved.

Best,

Andrea
