| dc.description | On 19 November 2025, the European Commission issued two proposals at the core of the current public consultation-the Digital Omnibus Proposal and the AI Omnibus Proposal. Both proposals include a number of 'simplifying' amendments of the current digital acquis ranging from data protection to cyber-security, to AI governance. The proposals touch upon many aspects that we are researching and analysing at the Centre for IT and IP Law (CiTiP), and we therefore want to contribute to its public discussion in this consultation, offering a perspective grounded in fundamental legal research. To this end, we took a researcher-led approach, whereby each contributing researcher or a group of researchers analysed and discussed the provisions of the proposals that matched their current research projects. Using this approach, we were able to offer a deep analysis of the provisions in question, which we found preferable to a comprehensive analysis, which this text does not provide. Our goal is to offer doctrinally grounded recommendations to the European Commission in order to improve the proposals and ensure they align with the legal principles of EU law, in particular the Charter of Fundamental Rights. While this contribution represents a large number of researchers at CiTiP it only represents the views of those who contributed. Our contribution to the public consultation proceeds as follows: Part 1 discusses overarching concerns with both proposals and the approach taken therein. Part 2 discusses some of the changes proposed for the General Data Protection Regulation (GDPR) via the Digital Omnibus. | en_US |
