At multiple levels, there has been an absolute explosion of policy documents, declarations, strategies, laws and regulations, and court cases that are relevant to the digital world. To help make sense of all this, CEPS is publishing a new dataset that provides a comprehensive overview of:

  • Policy declarations and instruments at global or international level, as put in place by the various UN organisations, the G8/G7, the G20, and the WTO.
  • Legal and policy instruments at regional level that are relevant to the EU, as put in place by the Council of Europe, OECD, OSCE, and NATO.
  • Free trade agreements that the EU is party to that have a digital dimension.

This dataset, based on data from 3 January 2025, is a companion and extension to the Dataset on EU legislation for the digital world that the same authors published as a Bruegel dataset on 6 June 2024.
