EFAMA welcomes the Digital Omnibus legislative proposals, and in particular the targeted amendments introduced to the GDPR and the AI Act. The proposed amendments aim to reduce unnecessary administrative burdens and provide legal clarity within the existing regulatory framework while preserving its core objectives.

Under the AI Act, the proposal maintains its core objective of establishing a comprehensive legal framework for the development and deployment of AI systems, grounded in a risk-based approach to safeguarding the fundamental rights of EU citizens. Similarly, we consider the proposed changes to the GDPR to be limited in scope and carefully calibrated, providing greater legal certainty while not substantially altering existing rights and protections, particularly the right to privacy and the protection of personal data.
