European Commission unveils 'Digital Omnibus' regulatory reset

Thursday, November 20, 2025 at 11:00 UTC+01:00 (+0100), European Union, Brussels

News category : Technological and Innovation Events

The European Commission introduced a wide-ranging 'Digital Omnibus' package intended to simplify and harmonise EU digital rules. Key elements include delaying the roll-out of some 'high-risk' AI provisions, clarifying what constitutes anonymous data to ease access for model training, and streamlining cookie and cross-border business processes (including a new European Business Wallet). The message to markets was twofold: reduce regulatory friction for tech and accelerate AI innovation, while still seeking to preserve fundamental rights. Investors treated the package as a net positive for large AI and cloud vendors who had cited regulatory uncertainty as a growth headwind in Europe. However, the proposal faces political scrutiny and legislative negotiation in the Council and Parliament; final content and timing will shape how fintech, ad-tech, and platform business models evolve across the continent.
