The European Union has 100 digital laws and 270 digital regulators overseeing the digital sector.

Omissions

• The exact wording in the Draghi Report is approximate: 'around 100' tech-focused laws and 'over 270' regulators, not exact counts of precisely 100 and 270.
• The 'over 270 regulators' figure refers to regulators 'active in digital networks across all Member States', i.e. it combines EU bodies and the many national authorities of the 27 Member States, not 270 EU-level institutions.
• No more recent (2025 or early 2026) official statistics superseding the Draghi Report figures were found in the searches; the Draghi Report (September 2024, published well before the 2026-07-07 session) remains the primary reference for these numbers.
• In the Draghi Report itself these figures are used to argue that regulatory fragmentation and complexity harm the EU's single market and competitiveness — a framing that partially supports the MEP's critical narrative, though the report also recognises the policy objectives behind the laws.
