EuroISPA welcomes the European Commission’s objective to simplify the EU digital regulatory framework. A coherent simplification agenda is essential to strengthen Europe’s competitiveness, increase legal certainty for businesses, and ensure that the EU digital acquis remains fit for the next decade.

While the proposed measures represent a constructive step, EuroISPA would like to draw attention to the need for further efforts to address overlapping obligations, fragmentation across legal instruments, and inconsistencies in implementation. Simplification should therefore go beyond adjustments to individual provisions and focus on improving coherence across the broader digital regulatory framework.

Among our key recommendations:
• Greater coherence between the GDPR and the ePrivacy framework
• Reducing unnecessary consent fatigue while maintaining strong privacy protections
• Clearer rules on pseudonymisation and scientific research
• A harmonised EU reporting framework for cybersecurity incidents
• An effective ENISA Single Entry Point that simplifies reporting through aligned definitions, thresholds and timelines across EU cybersecurity legislation

EuroISPA looks forward to engaging with EU policymakers to ensure the Digital Omnibus delivers meaningful simplification for Europe’s digital ecosystem while maintaining coherence across the digital regulatory landscape.
