How this resolves

The approval market resolved on the Council of the EU's press record and the Parliament's plenary vote of 16 June 2026.

The pattern behind it

3 of 5
Of five major EU digital-law deadlines since 2018, three held exactly as legislated and two slipped or died. The pattern is honestly split, and it splits on a line: dates already in force held; dates still ahead of industry readiness moved. Article 50 is about to test which side it sits on.

The EU's record on its own digital deadlines is split. We looked at five big EU digital laws and checked whether their deadlines came on the date the law set. The main laws took effect on the day promised. The more ambitious laws that followed slipped or died. The AI Act is now doing both at once.
