EU Digital Omnibus package: an overview

EU Digital Omnibus package: an overview

<p>On November 19<sup>th</sup>, 2025, the European Commission presented the Digital Omnibus package<strong><strong>[1]</strong></strong>, a legislative initiative aimed at streamlining the rapidly expanding EU digital regulatory framework. The package responds to growing concerns among businesses and regulators regarding the increasing complexity, fragmentation and operational burden resulting from the cumulative application of multiple digital instruments.&nbsp;Rather than introducing an additional regulatory layer, the Digital Omnibus package seeks to recalibrate and simplify existing frameworks, in particular the General Data Protection Regulation (GDPR) and the Artificial Intelligence Act (AI Act). The Digital Omnibus package is still subject to the EU's approval processes and is expected to be finalised in the course of 2026. This L&amp;S Insight addresses the main amendments proposed to the GDPR and the AI Act.</p> <p class="MsoFootnoteText"><strong><strong>[1]</strong></strong> &nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; In parallel to the Digital Omnibus initiatives in the field of data protection and artificial intelligence, the European Parliament has also adopted an "Omnibus I" package in the area of sustainability and ESG regulation, introducing significant adjustments to the scope and application thresholds of the Corporate Sustainability Reporting Directive (CSRD, Directive (EU) 2022/2464) and the Corporate Sustainability Due Diligence Directive (CSDDD, Directive (EU) 2024/1760).</p>
