The European Commission will propose at least five legislative simplification packages this year to reduce heavy administrative burdens and bureaucracy, as stated by European Commission Vice President Henna Virkkunen. In a briefing in Helsinki, Virkkunen, who oversees technological sovereignty, security, and democracy, expressed the need to streamline regulations to encourage investment and innovation in Europe.
Despite opposition from some U.S. tech companies urging President Donald Trump to intervene, Virkkunen emphasized the EU's commitment to enforcing regulations on big tech companies.
