Source Council, 22 October 2026. Recital 2: ST 14756/26, page 3 · exact text page

Union digital legislation sets high standard in the Union and can be a powerful source of competitive advantage for businesses that abide by the rules, showing a world-leading mark of quality, safety and trustworthiness. Digital regulations have framed clear rules of the game in the Union for responsible businesses, ensuring fairness and transparency in business-to-business relations, stimulating innovative business models, setting high standard of consumer protection and safety, and for the protection of fundamental rights, not least privacy and data protection.

    (2) Union digital legislation sets high standard in the Union and canwas supposed to be a powerful source of competitive advantage for businesses that abide by the rules, showing a world-leading mark of quality, safety and trustworthiness. DigitalWhile digital regulations have framed the clear rules of the game in the Union for responsible businesses, with the objective of ensuring fairness and transparency in business-to-business relations, stimulating innovative business models, setting high standard of consumer protection and safety, and for the protection fundamental rights, not least privacy and data protection, digital regulation has instead created a regulatory environment that favours those companies who have significant resources and can afford to incorporate significant compliance costs into their operations. This creates a significant disadvantage for start-ups, scale ups and SMEs.
