"On November 19, 2025, the European Commission officially adopted a proposal for the Digital Omnibus package. Specifically, the Digital Omnibus package consists of two legislative proposals, a Digital Omnibus on AI and a general Digital Omnibus (Digital Legislation Omnibus). The proposed package marks the Commission's first step toward optimising the EU's digital rulebook. It draws on more than a year of preparatory work and extensive stakeholder feedback:"
"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. 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."
""Stop-the-Clock" Transition Period. Certain AI Act obligations for high-risk systems will be linked to the adoption by the Commission of a decision confirming that support measures (e.g., harmonised standards/guidelines/common specifications) are available. Specifically, the application to high-risk AI systems in Annex III will be 6 months after the decision - with a long-stop of December 2, 2027 - and to high-risk systems in Annex I 12 months after the decision - with a long-stop of August 2, 2028."
On November 19, 2025, the European Commission adopted a Digital Omnibus package composed of two legislative proposals: a Digital Omnibus on AI and a general Digital Legislation Omnibus. The package aims to optimise the EU's digital rulebook and responds to stakeholder concerns about regulatory overlap, inconsistent national implementation, and unclear cross-regime rules and reporting requirements. The Commission launched a parallel Digital Fitness Check to assess cumulative impacts, interactions between digital laws, and structural adjustment needs, with a public consultation open from November 19, 2025 to March 11, 2026 and planned adoption in Q1 2027. The package proposes targeted AI Act adjustments including transition timelines linked to support measures.
