Graphic featuring a quote from Daniel Schnurr, CERRE Researcher and University of Regensburg. The quote reads: โThe Digital Omnibus package represents a generally positive, albeit limited, step towards a more streamlined digital regulatory framework. However, major questions remain about the Commissionโs overarching digital strategy to overcome the significant challenges Europe currently faces in the areas of data and AI.โ The image includes a portrait of Daniel Schnurr on the right.
The Commissionโs #DigitalOmnibus package shows a new willingness to update and streamline EU digital rules. But as @dschnurr.bsky.social argues, the bigger question is whether the EU has a clear strategy for #competitiveness and #digitalsovereignty.
