The Commission’s proposals may present far-reaching implications for companies operating in the EU’s digital landscape.
The EU intends to simplify and streamline its complex landscape of digital law with the aim of reducing bureaucracy and boosting competitiveness for businesses operating in the EU. On this basis, the European Commission (Commission) published a proposed legislative pact (the Draft) on 19 November 2025 to amend aspects of the GDPR, the EU AI Act, and other EU digital acts as part of its Digital Omnibus reform. The Draft must now be agreed with the European Parliament (Parliament) and the Council of the EU (Council) before being finalised, and is expected to receive intense scrutiny.
