Stephenson Harwood | The “Digital Omnibus”: Ten Key Changes to the GDPR and AI regulation

On Wednesday 19 November 2025, the European Commission published its Digital Omnibus Regulation proposal as part of its Digital Omnibus Package (the “Digital Omnibus”). 

The Digital Omnibus proposes reforms across EU data, AI and cyber legislation, aimed at simplifying existing laws and boosting innovation, whilst maintaining high standards.

The package proposes significant amendments to the EU General Data Protection Regulation (“GDPR”), ePrivacy Directive, Data Act, Data Governance Act and NIS2 Directive, as well as the EU AI Act.

It should be noted that the proposals are just the beginning. The details will need to be negotiated in trilogue between the EU institutions before anything comes into force. However, organisations should still monitor developments and prepare for change.
