Through the Communication: ‘2030 Digital Compass: the European Way for the Digital Decade’, the European Commission has presented a vision, targets and avenues towards a successful digital transformation. The Communication puts the EU’s digital ambitions for 2030 into concrete terms as well as proposing the development of a framework of digital principles and promoting the EU’s digital agenda internationally. AmCham EU shares the European Commission’s ambition to make the 2020s Europe’s digital decade’. To ensure that the objectives of the digital compass are met, AmCham EU provides recommendations on the importance of building and maintaining international partnerships, facilitating broad stakeholder participation, accelerating investment and innovation, and enhancing the digital skills and inclusion. As AmCham EU, we are confident that should these recommendations be followed, Europe’s ‘digital decade’ will not only be realised, but will have a positive, tangible effect on Europe’s society moving forward.

Reducing complexity in Europe’s digital rulebook
The EU’s digital regulatory landscape has expanded significantly in recent years. While the creation of these rules pursues important objectives, their interaction has not always been fully aligned, creating legal uncertainty and increased compliance burdens for businesses.
The European Commission’s proposals for a Digital Omnibus and the Digital Omnibus on AI Regulation Proposal (AI Omnibus) both offer opportunities to improve coherence across the EU’s digital rulebook while supporting Europe’s competitiveness in the digital economy. Both initiatives represent a positive step forward, but further refinements will be needed to ensure they fully deliver on their objectives while maintaining high standards for safety and fundamental rights.
The AI Omnibus focuses on the AI Act, while the Digital Omnibus addresses broader elements of the digital acquis, including data and cybersecurity legislation. Together, they aim to reduce fragmentation and streamline obligations across multiple frameworks. Explore below how these proposals can better support innovation and competitiveness in Europe.
