   (3) Union digital legislation has evolved incrementally over the past years, in response to the rapidly growing footprint of digital technologies in the Union’s economy and societal dynamic, and in view of addressing emerging challenges and promoting business opportunities in the EU. Notwithstanding the Commission’s commitment to a systematic ‘stress test’ of the digital rules, along with other Union rules, which might lead to further regulatory adjustments notably following the forthcoming Digital Fitness Check, as well as other targeted evaluations of digital rules, immediate regulatory changes are necessary. The Digital Fitness Check should constitute the appropriate forum for conducting proper impact assessment on the need to amend further the legislative Acquis. Consequently, this Regulation proposes a first set of amendments to the digital legislative framework, aimed at providing immediate regulatory clarifications that stimulate innovation in the Union market, and that cut administrative compliance costs in particular for businesses, while also streamlining supervisory and administrative costs for supervisory authorities and advisory bodies. The amendments also seek to provide clarity to individuals. Amendments to Regulation (EU) 2016/679 and (EU) 2023/2854 should be supported by a dedicated impact assessment, evaluating the cumulative effects on Articles 7, 8 and 47 of the Charter of Fundamentals Rights of the European Union and the requirements of Article 52(1) thereof. Substantial amendments to fundamental-rights safeguards, such as those on the rights to privacy and for protection of personal data, should be duly justified beyond the goals of simplification, competitiveness, innovation or reduction of administrative burden.

   (3) Union digital legislation has evolved incrementally over the past years, in response to the rapidly growing footprint of digital technologies in the Union’s economy and societal dynamic, and in view of addressing emerging challenges and promoting business opportunities in the EU. Notwithstanding the Commission’s commitment to a systematic ‘stress test’ of the digital rules, along with other Union rules, which might lead to further regulatory adjustments notably following the forthcoming Digital Fitness Check, as well as other targeted evaluations of digital rules, immediate regulatory changes are necessary.Union digital legislation has evolved incrementally over the past years, in response to the rapidly growing economic and social footprint of digital technologies in the Union. These developments highlight the need for clear and effective regulation of the use of personal and non-personal data. To that end, data protection should be made a central pillar and robust safeguards should be put in place for Union citizens and SMEs, including systematic ‘stress tests’ and targeted evaluations of digital rules, which could provide scope for future regulatory adjustments that are proportionate and consistent and maintain those objectives. Consequently, this Regulation proposes a first set of amendments to the digital legislative framework, aimed at providing immediate regulatory clarifications that stimulate innovation in the Union market, and that cut administrative compliance costs in particular for businesses, while also streamlining supervisory and administrative costs for supervisory authorities and advisory bodies.Consequently, a proper assessment should be undertaken of administrative compliance costs, in particular for individuals and SMEs, as well as the main difficulties faced by national supervisory and oversight authorities in the digital sector. The amendments also seek to provide clarity to individuals.
