TALLINN, Sept. 30 (Xinhua) -- French President Emmanuel Macron has called for fair competition in the digital sector to achieve social justice.
"The digital sector is at the heart of transformation of our society," Macron said after the Tallinn Digital Summit on Friday. Estonia now holds the rotating presidency of the Council of the European Union (EU).
He said that fair and efficient projects are needed to boost the job markets and provide support to the young people.
The French president dismissed the allegation that there will be a new type of tax on technology giants.
He said the EU leaders discussed the issues of digital regulation, digital market, digital economy and society as well as cyber security at the Tallinn Digital Summit.
France has the talents for a digital economy and needs to speed up the process toward building up an EU digital single market, Macron said.
