As part of its simplification agenda, the European Commission published the official Digital Omnibus proposal on 19 November 2025. The initiative aims to simplify existing rules on artificial intelligence, cybersecurity, and data, with the goal of reducing bureaucratic reporting obligations for businesses and creating a clearer, more consistent digital framework. Bitkom welcomes this initiative as an important step in the right direction, however, it does not yet deliver on the level of ambition needed.
Our position paper outlines Bitkom’s key priorities for strengthening the Digital Omnibus. It calls for stronger measures to reduce unnecessary administrative burdens, provide legal clarity, and create a regulatory environment that encourages technological development in Europe. The position paper is available for download in English.
