Summary

In this conference presentation, Professor Samir Merabet addresses the challenges of articulating the numerous EU digital regulations. He begins by listing over 40 legislative acts adopted in the last decade, totaling thousands of pages, which creates complexity and potential conflicts. Focusing on the DSA, AI Act, and GDPR, he illustrates through a hypothetical case of an AI-based content moderation system how multiple regulations apply simultaneously, leading to overlapping obligations and potential contradictions. He discusses textual mechanisms like ‘without prejudice’ clauses and interpretative principles such as hierarchy of norms, lex posterior, and lex specialis, noting their limitations. He highlights the risk of information overload for users and the burden on companies. He concludes that while some interpretative tools exist, they are insufficient to ensure legal clarity, and suggests that regulatory authorities may play a role in arbitrating conflicts, though this adds another layer of complexity.
