Lobbying Activity

Response to Digital package – digital omnibus

13 Oct 2025

carVertical is a Lithuanian scale-up that helps European consumers make informed decisions about second-hand vehicle purchases. We thank the Commission for the opportunity to provide suggestions for the upcoming Digital Omnibus on data legislation, cybersecurity incident reporting, and the AI Act. In our submission to the Call for Evidence, we focus on data legislation. While we recognize that the full scope of challenges in obtaining data may be more relevant to the forthcoming Digital Fitness Test, we nevertheless wish to share several practical, cost-related issues we encounter regularly (enclosed in the pdf below). We would also like to thank the Commission for recognizing that small and mid-caps must be considered in the simplification of data rules. This is an important shift that allows not only SMEs but also European small and mid-caps to benefit from the simplification package, helping fast-growing European tech companies scale and, hopefully, enhance Europes global competitiveness. Although, in our opinion, to truly unlock the potential of European companies data rules need to be amended, the goal of reducing compliance costs related to data access by harmonizing rules and their application is a step in the right direction. Moreover, where amendments to EU rules are not feasible, clarifications and recommendations to Member States are the next-best alternative.
