We firmly oppose any attempt to delay or re-open the AI Act, particularly in light of the growing trend of deregulation, which risks undermining key accountability mechanisms and hard-won rights enshrined in EU law across a wide range of protections, including for people, the planet, justice and democracy.

Joint letter co-branded CDT Europe, EDRi, ECNL and BEUC with ~40 signatory organisations.

BEUC — The European Consumer OrganisationForHold the AI Act application timeline2026-05-07
BEUC, the European Consumer Organisation, regrets that the final AI omnibus adopted early this morning, aimed to simplify AI rules to boost competitiveness, instead creates a less safe digital environment for consumers as it delays key provisions in the AI Act and creates dangerous loopholes in the scope of the law.

'Adopted early this morning' refers to the 7 May 2026 trilogue provisional deal, not final adoption.
