The provided excerpts detail a European Commission proposal for a Regulation aimed at simplifying and consolidating the existing body of digital legislation, referred to as the “Digital Omnibus.” This legislative initiative proposes to amend several key regulations, including the GDPR (Regulation (EU) 2016/679) and the Data Act (Regulation (EU) 2023/2854), while repealing others, such as the Free Flow of Non-Personal Data Regulation and the Open Data Directive, by integrating their provisions into the Data Act. Key objectives include reducing administrative burdens for businesses, increasing legal clarity, strengthening trade secret protection (especially against third countries), and addressing issues like “consent fatigue” related to cookie banners. Furthermore, the proposal mandates the creation of a single-entry point for incident reporting and extends simplification measures to include small mid-cap companies (SMCs).
