Dear all,

For the past decade I have been working together with Gaelle Le Gars in all kinds of (European) projects. With her twenty years experience in the Commission and her particular brain wired to reading legal texts, she has a unique insight in regulatory issues. And today with the over 17 Acts and Directives that is rapidly becoming an expertise that has moved from the end of the project (as in dissemination, standardisation and policy) right into the heart of software and hardware design.

Her latest piece is here

The broader context is the long-standing EU agenda to digitalise [every part of] the EU economy. The latest iteration of this agenda, the ‘Digital Decade’ covers the current decade until 2030 and has already produced multiple laws across different policy domains. The full impact will only be felt over the next 3-5 years when most of them will have come into effect. Put together, these new laws are preparing the ground for a heavily digitalised post-2030 form of governance for the EU. The expected outcome is a set of ‘always-on’ digital services, built on a dense layer of interoperable systems, data, automated processes and digital infrastructures.

Greater digitalisation comes with greater exposure to cybercrime. Over the same period, a number of laws have been adopted to complete the framework addressing cybersecurity including the cybersecurity act (2019), the NIS2 directive (2022) and most recently the Cyber Resilience Act.

For those abroad who want to have a regulatory update

(For Council members she has very fair fees),
