The Digital Omnibus simplification package, expected in late 2025, is a critical opportunity to streamline the EU digital rulebook in four key areas: cybersecurity, data, connectivity and artificial intelligence. Regulatory burdens continue to weigh heavily on businesses in Europe, with 84% of AmCham EU members identifying them as a primary obstacle to growth and investment. Without simpler rules, the EU risks eroding business confidence and undermining its long-term economic and sustainability goals. The digital simplification package must therefore bring the EU closer to a true Digital Single Market, enhancing legal harmonisation across Member States, eliminating duplicative obligations for businesses and striking a more balanced approach between horizontal and sector-specific digital regulation. Download the paper to learn why the Omnibus must uphold the EU’s commitment to openness by rejecting protectionist measures and ensuring a level playing field for all companies invested in Europe’s digital transformation.
