📝 Proposed

Digital Omnibus (Nov 2025) - may extend AI Act by 24+ months

⚡ Breaking Development: European Commission's Digital Omnibus package (Nov 19, 2025) proposes major simplifications: AI Act deadline extensions (24+ months), streamlined breach reporting (72h → 96h), simplified cookie consent, single EU reporting portal. Strong industry support, potential adoption mid-2026. Would significantly impact compliance timelines for high-risk AI systems.

⚠️ January 2026 Status Update: Major implementation phase underway. DORA fully applicable (Jan 2025). Data Act now active (Sept 2025). NIS2 Germany entered force December 6, 2025 via BSIG amendments - NO transition period, registration opens January 6, 2026, deadline March 6, 2026 for particularly important entities. 13 other member states still face infringement proceedings. AI Act phased implementation through 2027 (Digital Omnibus may extend). CRA main deadlines 2026-2027. Regulatory landscape increasingly complex with interconnected compliance obligations.
