Joint statement – Simplify, protect, compete: nine Digital Omnibus fixes for European companies

The Digital Omnibus should be more than an administrative clean-up. It is an opportunity to create the right conditions for applied research, investment in AI and data-driven innovation across Europe, and to strengthen our technological leadership. Above all, it must deliver genuine simplification, not replace today’s complexity with more bureaucracy.

Two years after the Draghi report, Europe must show it is turning this goal into reality. AI is central to this, and AI is built on data. If European rules make it disproportionately difficult for European companies to use data, they cannot develop and deploy their AI models and systems. As a result, European AI won’t be competitive, leaving no option but to continue relying on AI built elsewhere.

Together with other 15 European associations, Orgalim proposes nine Digital Omnibus fixes for European companies.
