EDPB-EDPS Joint Opinion 2/2026 on the Proposal for a Regulation as regards the simplification of the digital legislative framework (Digital Omnibus)

This second joint opinion concerns the broader Digital Omnibus (COM(2025) 837) and thus the GDPR dimension of the same simplification exercise. It addresses, among other things, proposed changes regarding AI development, automated decision-making, the division of roles between controller and processor, legal bases for processing and coordination between digital regulatory frameworks. The supervisors emphasise that simplification must not lead to weakening the protection of data subjects.
