This CEPS legislative dataset is an updated version and successor to a Bruegel dataset that was most recently published on 6 June 2024. Publishing an update now is appropriate because the European Commission has published several strategy documents that indicate what we might expect in the months to come.
The dataset is comprised of two tables:
- Table 1: Legislative measures relevant to digitalisation that were enacted in previous terms; a few legislative proposals that are still active; and ongoing EU policy initiatives that are likely to lead to new legislation in the foreseeable future.
- Table 2: Governmental and non-governmental bodies at EU level that contribute to the implementation and enforcement of legislative measures related to digitalisation.
This is the fourth edition of the EU dataset. It provides a comprehensive status update for the middle of the first full year of the 2024-2029 mandate.
This CEPS dataset is an EU-oriented companion to the Dataset of international legal and policy instruments for the digital world that the same authors published as a CEPS dataset on 6 May 2025.
