The Commission specifically prioritizes tackling excessive fragmentation of notice-and-take-down (or "notice-and-action") procedures in European jurisdictions (3.4, main action 12). This fragmentation in turn leads to a high level of legal uncertainty that makes Europe an uneasy business environment for intermediaries.
