An extensive package of new legislation has been established in the EU, including the Accessibility Act, Digital Services Act, Digital Markets Act, Data Act, eIDAS Regulation and AI Act. Implementing this legislation requires extensive work from governments, businesses, regulators, and others. It is important to know what rules must be complied with as well as to pay sufficient attention to compliance and monitoring to ensure that everyone can trust the digital world.
This is complex because of the amount and speed of regulations being imposed on governments, businesses and entrepreneurs. There is a risk of fragmentation of monitoring. It requires joint efforts to achieve unambiguous rules and more centrally organised monitoring compliance methods and more centrally organised monitoring.
Goals
