The proposed provisions of the Digital Omnibus were made public today, placing our rights and the safeguards protecting us in the digital environment at serious risk.
These new proposed regulations threaten the core of the European data protection framework and a range of other digital rights, directly affecting key instruments such as the GDPR, the ePrivacy Directive, and the AI Act.
The European Commission’s broader deregulation agenda primarily serves the interests of large technology companies, sidelining fundamental rights. Through these choices, the European Commission is effectively deviating from its mission and failing to fulfil its institutional responsibility.
We call on the Council of the European Union and the European Parliament to reject this attempt to dismantle the European framework for Digital Rights, and instead to focus on the consistent and effective enforcement of the rules that are already in place.
