What it is about

On 10 March 2026, at the request of the European Parliament (9 December 2025), the ECB issued an opinion on the Digital Omnibus proposal COM(2025)837. The ECB broadly supports the proposal. It asks for a clearer definition of 'public emergency' for access to private data. It also wants joint controllers to be able to submit a single breach notification through the new single entry point. Finally, it opposes bringing DORA incident reporting into that single entry point.

What this means in practice

This opinion has no direct legal consequence for controllers or processors. It is a non-binding step in the legislative procedure. The ECB proposal for a single joint breach notification by joint controllers may still shape the final text.
