Why it matters
If adopted, the rules could affect companies selling digital services to EU consumers, including U.S.-based businesses, and change how online products and marketing are designed. They are proposals, not current requirements.
What happens next
The proposals must proceed through the EU legislative process. The supplied reports do not give a timetable for adoption or describe the final rules.
