[Owasp-leaders] European Directive on Consumer Rights and software security

[Carlos Serrão]

Yes,
I believe it should be interesting to have a word to say about it.

Maybe a concentrated OWASP action about his matter should be made. This concerns more OWASP european chapters... but it is a transversal issue for all OWASP.

Someone interested in producing a join document (Statement of Opinion) about this issue?

Best regards.

Does any of our European leaders have more information about this and its possible implications on the software market (specially regarding software security)?
