Navigating the Digital Labyrinth: CEPS Unveils Essential EU Legislative Tools for Policymakers

Brussels, Belgium – As the digital landscape continues to evolve rapidly, the European Union’s legislative framework is growing increasingly intricate. In response to this complexity, the Centre for European Policy Studies (CEPS) has released a new dataset aimed at supporting stakeholders in navigating the latest EU digital laws.

This dataset includes a carefully selected compilation of the 20 most significant EU digital laws and regulations, alongside a collection of key documents outlining the EU’s digital strategies. This information is up to date as of September 2025 and supplements a previously published dataset from July 2025 that focused on legal and policy instruments related to the digital sector. CEPS plans future updates of these tables, which will be made available biannually or as needed.

Kai Zenner, who serves as the Head of Office and Digital Policy Adviser to MEP Axel Voss from the European People’s Party, is a key figure in this initiative. Zenner’s extensive background includes being a Fellow of Practice at the Technical University of Munich and participating as a member of the OECD.AI Network of Experts and the AI Governance Alliance at the World Economic Forum. His expertise adds weight to the collaborative effort between policymakers and researchers in understanding digital regulations.

J. Scott Marcus, also involved in this project, brings a wealth of knowledge as an economist, engineer, and public policy analyst. He holds the title of Associate Senior Research Fellow in CEPS’s Global Governance, Regulation, Innovation, and Digital Economy Unit. Marcus is also a part-time professor and a member of the Scientific Committee at the Centre for a Digital Society, European University Institute. His consulting work focuses on regulatory policy surrounding electronic communications, offering insights that are increasingly vital in today’s complex digital environment.

The ongoing development of EU law reflects the rapid advancements in technology and the increasing challenges that come with it. As regulations adapt to keep pace with innovation, the datasets produced by CEPS aim to equip experts and policymakers with essential tools to interpret and implement these laws effectively.

Data governance, privacy issues, and the deliberations around digital sovereignty are among pressing topics within the framework of EU legislation. As the EU seeks to lead in setting global standards for digital activity, accessible and comprehensive resources like these datasets are crucial for stakeholders attempting to navigate this evolving terrain.

Through the lens of collaboration between experts and policymakers, insights into these complex issues are more accessible, thereby fostering a better understanding of the ever-changing regulatory landscape governing digital endeavors.
