Summary/Abstract: The challenge of disinformation for the foundations of democracy within the European Union has generated substantial efforts at the level of EU institutions and of the Member States in order to provide effective countering instruments. Besides the Action Plan against disinformation and pieces of legislation of the Member States, a variety of actions and instruments have been initiated within the EU. The Romanian Presidency of the Council of the EU catalysed and supported the coordination efforts. The intense rhythm of the fight against disinformation should be accompanied by legal instruments establishing the pre-requisite for using the online space. This is essential in order to allow its functioning in accordance with the democratic principles.
