ELI Submits Feedback to the EC Public Consultation on Simplification – Digital Package and Omnibus

12.03.2026

The Feedback, approved by ELI Council on 11 March 2026, was submitted to the European Commission.

The Commission’s initiative on the Digital Package and Digital Omnibus, including the Digital Omnibus on AI, aims to simplify and streamline the EU’s digital regulatory framework. While broadly supportive of the initiative, ELI has proposed a number of targeted revisions designed to enhance legal clarity, ensure coherence across the digital acquis, and safeguard fundamental rights while supporting innovation and economic competitiveness.

ELI extends its sincere gratitude to the Authors of the Feedback, Prof Dr Christiane Wendehorst, Prof Dr Paolo Balboni, Prof Dr Moritz Hennemann, Jussi Mäkinen, Dr Bernhard Nessler, Prof Dr Teresa Rodríguez de las Heras Ballell, Agata Szeliga and Rania Wazir.

Our thanks are also due to the members of the ELI Council for their valuable feedback and contributions.
