Biotechnologies like vaccines, gene-therapies, or alcoholic fermentation in bread to enhance flavours are increasingly shaping Europe’s health and food systems, directly affecting patients and consumers. Innovation and competitiveness matter but must never compromise safety or public trust. Simplification must ensure rigorous risk assessment, and respect for the precautionary principle. Transparency and clear safeguards are essential to ensure innovation serves the public interest.

The EU AI Act was designed to ensure safety, transparency and ethical deployment of AI systems across the EU while protecting consumers’ fundamental rights. The AI Omnibus, however, risks undermining these protections, exposing consumers to heightened risks and more legal uncertainty. By weakening core safeguards, it threatens to erode consumers’ trust in digital products and services. Trilogues must ensure that these protections are preserved and strengthened, not compromised.

This paper summarises BEUC’s recommendations for trilogue negotiations on the AI Omnibus. For more information, see our position paper, the Commission’s proposal, the EU Parliament’s and Council’s positions.
