The complexity of EU laws and regulation for the digital world has been growing with dizzying speed. That’s why CEPS has been publishing a series of datasets to help experts and policymakers hack their way through the thicket of new EU laws. This new legislative dataset provides: 

  • a curated list of the 20 most essential EU digital laws and regulations (table 1); and 
  • a curated list of some of the most important EU digital strategy documents (table 2). 

It corresponds to the status quo as of September 2025 and is a complement to our July 2025 Dataset of EU Legal and Policy Instruments for the Digital World. We intend to include updated versions of these new tables in future editions of the larger dataset, which will be published on an as-needed basis, typically twice per year.
