What they argued
The digital omnibus simplification process poses grave risks to fundamental rights and EU values. We are greatly concerned that it will result in weakened fundamental rights protections and widened loopholes in the name of competitiveness. Such an approach risks undoing years of progress achieved through landmark EU legislation such as the GDPR, the DSA, and the AI Act.
