FEDIL welcomes the European Commission’s forthcoming Digital Omnibus package as a critical opportunity to streamline and harmonize the EU’s digital regulatory framework. In recent years, companies have faced a tsunami of new digital regulations (AI Act, Data Act, NIS2, DSA/DMA, Cyber Resilience Act, etc.), which, despite their individual merits, have created overlaps, inconsistencies, and heavy administrative burdens. This regulatory complexity undermines legal clarity, disproportionately strains SMEs and cross-border businesses, and even risks slowing innovation in Europe. FEDIL urge the Commission to make the Digital Omnibus a landmark in “better regulation” by streamlining existing obligations, ensuring consistent terminology and requirements across laws, and maintaining enforcement proportionate and predictable for all companies.
This position paper outlines the key challenges identified by our members and presents clear recommendations to ensure the Digital Omnibus delivers tangible simplification, significantly reduces compliance costs and uncertainty and mostly improves Europe’s competitiveness. We call on the Commission to integrate these priorities so that businesses can focus on innovation rather than paperwork.
