"As a part of stress‑testing the EU's digital rulebook, the Commission has also launched the Digital Fitness Check, a broader review running in parallel with the Digital Omnibus package. The Digital Fitness Check assesses the cumulative impact of the EU's digital legislation, how rules interact in practice and where more structural adjustments may be needed. A call for evidence and a public consultation on the Digital Fitness Check are open from November 19, 2025, to March 11, 2026, with Commission adoption planned for Q1 2027."
"The Digital Omnibus package consists of two proposals - a Digital Omnibus on AI (AI Omnibus) and a general Digital Omnibus (Digital Legislation Omnibus). This package aims to address the growing criticism from both industry and authorities, including concerns raised in the recent Draghi Report on European competitiveness, which warned that regulatory fragmentation and overregulation risk slowing innovation. For a sector-agnostic overview of the Digital Omnibus package, see Sidley Update The European Commission Proposes Important Changes to the EU's Digital Rulebook."
The European Commission released the Digital Omnibus package on November 19, 2025, proposing targeted amendments to EU digital legislation. The package avoids rewriting core instruments such as the AI Act, GDPR and Data Act, instead seeking to reduce overlap, smooth implementation and increase legal certainty. The Omnibus package is open for an eight-week review period, extended until proposals are available in all EU languages. The Commission also launched the Digital Fitness Check to assess cumulative impacts and rule interactions; its consultation runs from November 19, 2025 to March 11, 2026, with adoption planned for Q1 2027. It includes an AI Omnibus and a general Digital Legislation Omnibus, addressing concerns about regulatory fragmentation and overregulation.
