Amendment 74· Digital Omnibus proposal Recital 3a (new)

(3a)This Regulation should simplify the application of the Union digital acquis while preserving legal certainty, institutional balance, the hierarchy of norms, and the level of protection guaranteed by Articles 7, 8, 47 and 52(1) of the Charter of Fundamental Rights of the European Union. Amendments affecting the material scope of fundamental rights safeguards, the exercise of data subject rights, preventive safeguards, enforcement mechanisms or the allocation of powers between the legislature, the Commission, independent supervisory authorities and courts should be clearly justified, supported by evidence, and assessed in light of their cumulative effects. Simplification should make rights and obligations more accessible, foreseeable and enforceable. It should not lower substantive safeguards or shift essential elements of fundamental-rights protection into recitals, implementing acts, technical standards, or controller self-assessment.’
