Monday 28 September Day One Plenary Agenda

Panel 3: GROWTH & SIMPLIFICATION – AI and Digital Omnibuses and beyond

  • What does the EU economy need from its digital regulatory framework to scale globally, and how are the current simplification reforms responding to that need?
  • What are the AI Act, Digital Omnibus, GDPR/ePrivacy and Data Act simplification efforts delivering in terms of reducing fragmentation, overlaps and improving predictability for operators across the EU?
  • Beyond the Omnibuses, what further work is needed – and is the Digital Fitness Check the right framework to address remaining barriers to simplification?
  • How can cross-sector industries benefit from greater regulatory coherence across AI, data and digital services?
  • From the perspective of companies deploying the same product across 27 Member States, what does effective simplification look like in practice?
