Digital Omnibus timeline: June 16 to July 27 in order

As reported by secondary sources, the EU Digital Omnibus was voted by Parliament on June 16, 2026, by Council on June 29, signed on July 8 and entered into force on July 27. Confirm each date against the Official Journal on EUR-Lex before you rely on it.

The dates in order

We could not read the legal text for this post, so the table below is a reported timeline, not legal advice. It is the order a compliance owner needs to put in a calendar.

What the grace date means

Secondary sources describe a grace period for Article 50(2) up to December 2, 2026 for systems placed on the market before August 2, 2026. Article 50(2) concerns marking synthetic outputs in a machine-readable way. Whether a given generator or workflow counts as placed on the market before that date is a legal question about your own product.

What this means for a Sume user

The Sume changelog is the reader-facing record of what shipped and when. If your compliance file needs to say which Sume capability was available on a given date, cite the dated changelog entry, not a blog post. This post makes no claim that any Sume feature satisfies Article 50.

• Keep a copy of the changelog entries for the features you use
• Record which surface you call: model endpoint, Format run or agent
• Ask your counsel which of the dates above applies to your system
