Abstract

The EU is responding to the challenges of the digital transformation with an unprecedented number of regulatory acts. The central objectives of the Union, such as the creation of the single market, and its values shall also apply to the digital world. By adopting landmark regulations, the Union wants to strengthen its digital sovereignty instead of following the rules of others. While the Digital Markets Act (DMA) aims to control the bottleneck power of gatekeeper platforms, the Digital Services Act (DSA) establishes a constitution for the Internet. Other important acts regulate access to data, for example the Data Act (DA), the Data Governance Act (DGA) and the European Health Data Space (EHDS). Finally, the draft Artificial Intelligence Act (AI Act) is a pioneering attempt to contain the most disruptive technologies. It remains to be seen what impact the regulatory offensive will have on the promotion of innovation in Europe.
