WASHINGTON, Dec. 5, 2025 — Europe’s tech sectors warned Thursday that EU governments risked stalling the bloc’s first major bid to simplify digital regulations as member states prepared for a Telecommunications Council meeting.
The warning came from the Computer & Communications Industry Association Europe, a Brussels-based tech industry group, urging national governments to back the European Commission’s Digital Omnibus proposal. The association called it the clearest effort to date to streamline a fragmented regulatory system.
EU digital policy is currently set through a mix of sector-specific laws including the Digital Services Act, the Digital Markets Act and the General Data Protection Regulation, along with additional nation-by-nation measures.
