Response to Digital package – digital omnibus

13 Oct 2025

Siinda members welcome the Commissions Call for Evidence on the Digital Omnibus and the opportunity to help simplify and modernise EU digital rules while preserving fundamental rights, competition and innovation. Any omnibus package must: Ensure a level playing field between gatekeeper platforms and other Search and Information Providers, including clear scope and consistent application of the Digital Markets Act (DMA) where rules are necessary to preserve contestability. Strike a proportionate balance between data access (including machine-readable, non-personal and appropriately licensed data) and data protection (GDPR), with specific safeguards for small operators and sole traders who lack compliance resources. Require coherent, innovation-friendly AI strategies that provide legal clarity, risk-based obligations and support access to high-quality datasets while avoiding prescriptive restraints that would disproportionately burden SMEs and sole traders. The attached submission sets out targeted recommendations designed to feed into the DMA review, the Digital Omnibus, and coherence with the AI regulatory framework.
