EU Plans Major Overhaul to Simplify its Digital Rules

The European Commission is preparing the Digital Omnibus Package, a major initiative to simplify and modernise the EU’s complex digital rulebook. Expected in November 2025, the proposal aims to reduce administrative burdens, clarify overlaps between laws and help businesses—especially SMEs—navigate digital compliance more easily. The package will introduce targeted updates to existing regulations, including the ePrivacy Directive, the Data Governance Act, and the AI Act, with changes focused on reducing consent fatigue, improving data-sharing rules, and easing compliance for high-risk AI systems. Industry feedback shows strong support for clearer rules, simplified reporting, and faster innovation pathways. The Digital Omnibus marks a strategic shift toward a more streamlined and innovation-friendly digital framework, setting the stage for the broader Digital Fitness Check running until 2027.
