Google urges EU to accelerate AI deployment in energy sector

5 Nov 2025
Feedback on — EU Strategic Roadmap on digitalisation and artificial intelligence for energy systems.
Their ask — Google requests standardized data formats, interdisciplinary teams to translate grid challenges into AI-readable problems, and secure-by-design AI systems. They advocate for voluntary, market-based flexibility programs with day-ahead notification rather than real-time curtailment requirements. Google also seeks regulatory sandboxes for innovative flexibility products and non-financial incentives like accelerated grid connections.1234
How it helps them — This would enable their data centers to operate continuously without forced curtailment while maintaining grid flexibility.56
Who loses — Grid operators lose ability to mandate real-time demand reduction from major electricity consumers during peak stress.7
Response to: Strategic Roadmap for digitalisation and AI in the energy sector

Google urges prioritizing existing laws over new Digital Fairness regulation

23 Oct 2025
Feedback on — New EU regulation addressing dark patterns, influencer marketing, addictive design, and consumer protection online.
Their ask — Google requests focus on enforcing existing digital laws rather than creating new regulations. They advocate for simplification and harmonisation across EU regulations, clearer legal guidance, and educational measures for users.123
How it helps them — This would reduce compliance costs from overlapping regulations and preserve flexibility in product design.456
Who loses — Consumer groups lose stronger protections against manipulative design practices and harmful content exposure.78

Google urges EU to simplify digital rules before adding new regulations

14 Oct 2025
Feedback on — Consultation on streamlining EU digital legislation covering AI, data, privacy, cybersecurity, and identity.
Their ask — Google requests holistic regulatory simplification across the entire digital ecosystem, not just minor procedural adjustments. They want the EU to restructure rules to create coherent, proportionate frameworks and avoid introducing new legislation like the Digital Fairness Act before implementing existing laws. They emphasize accelerating deployment of best-in-class technologies and promoting investment in compute infrastructure, digital networks, and digital skills.123
How it helps them — This would reduce compliance burdens and legal uncertainty hampering their ability to scale digital services.4
Who loses — Consumer and rights groups lose stronger protections from delayed implementation of safeguards.

Google urges six-month delay for EU website certificate rules

1 Oct 2025
Feedback on — EU regulation setting standards for qualified certificates for website authentication.
Their ask — Google requests at least six months for implementation after publication, rather than the proposed 20 days. They argue browser release processes require several months of development and testing. They also need testing endpoints from providers 90 days before implementation.123
How it helps them — This would allow Chrome to complete testing and deployment without rushing implementation.45

Google urges EU to integrate AI tools in climate resilience strategy

4 Sept 2025
Feedback on — EU framework for climate preparedness, resilience, and harmonized climate risk management rules.
Their ask — Google recommends establishing a strategy for empowering civil protection authorities to harness digital technology and AI in climate adaptation planning and crisis response. They highlight AI capabilities for weather forecasting, flood warnings, wildfire detection, and heat mitigation planning.12
How it helps them — This would position Google's AI tools as essential infrastructure for EU climate response.34
Response to: Proposal for a Regulation of the European Parliament and of the Council establishing the framework for achieving climate preparedness and resilience and laying down harmonised rules on climate risk management, and amending Regulation (EU) 2018/1999 on the Governance of the Energy Union and Climate Action

Google urges hourly matching rules for CBAM electricity emissions

25 Aug 2025
Feedback on — Proposed extension of CBAM scope to downstream products and anti-circumvention measures.
Their ask — Google requests that CBAM implementing acts require hourly matching of PPA-backed electricity with generation, regional/same grid matching to ensure physical deliverability, and prioritization of additionality through vintage requirements for energy attribute certificates. They argue annual matching obscures real emissions and fails to drive genuine decarbonization.1234
How it helps them — This would align CBAM rules with their existing 24/7 carbon-free energy strategy.56
Who loses — Companies using annual matching PPAs face higher compliance costs and reporting burdens.7
Response to: Commission proposal for Regulation (EU) No …/… of … amending Regulation (EU) 2023/956 as regards scope extension to downstream products and anti-circumvention

Google urges EU grid reforms to accelerate connections

29 Jul 2025
Feedback on — EU proposals to upgrade, digitalize and expand European electricity grid infrastructure.
Their ask — Google requests extended 20-year planning horizons, accelerated grid permitting through digitalization and one-stop-shops, reformed connection queue management based on project readiness rather than first-come-first-served, incentives for Grid-Enhancing Technologies and AI deployment, and frameworks allowing large energy users to co-finance grid reinforcements.1234
How it helps them — This would accelerate data center connections and reduce delays from current bottlenecks.567
Who loses — Ratepayers may subsidize infrastructure primarily benefiting large tech companies' operations.8

Google urges EU to prioritize interoperability over exclusionary cloud rules

3 Jul 2025
Feedback on — EU proposal to boost cloud infrastructure and AI capacity through industrial investment and research.
Their ask — Google requests streamlined data center permitting, promotion of interoperability standards, and enforcement against vendor lock-in practices. They argue exclusionary requirements for non-EU providers would harm European businesses and innovation. The company advocates for regulatory harmonization with existing sustainability rules rather than new performance standards.1234
How it helps them — This would preserve their access to European markets and avoid new regulatory burdens.567
Who loses — European cloud providers lose potential market protection from US hyperscaler competition.8

Google urges EU quantum strategy focused on workforce and supply chain

3 Jun 2025
Feedback on — EU strategy to develop quantum computing, communication, and sensing technologies.
Their ask — Google recommends the EU focus on workforce development, supply chain strengthening, and fault-tolerant applications rather than spreading investments thinly. They advocate for strategic international collaboration leveraging relative strengths of different countries. The company emphasizes interdisciplinary education beyond physics, creating diverse talent pipelines, and coordinating with like-minded nations on supply chain needs.1234
How it helps them — This would enable Google to maintain access to EU talent and research while sharing development costs globally.56
Who loses — EU strategic autonomy suffers as dependence on non-EU quantum suppliers and talent pools increases.78

Google seeks more control over researcher data access

10 Dec 2024
Feedback on — Rules for sharing platform data with vetted researchers under Digital Services Act.
Their ask — Google requests advance consultation on access modalities, full researcher application disclosure, and authority to restrict analytical tools and impose data storage requirements. They want to determine appropriate means for data sharing while accounting for user privacy implications.123
How it helps them — This would let them control what researchers can access and analyze.45
Who loses — Researchers lose unfettered access to platform data for public interest studies.6
Response to: COMMISSION DELEGATED REGULATION (EU) …/... supplementing Regulation (EU) 2022/2065 of the European Parliament and of the Council by laying down the technical conditions and procedures under which providers of very large online platforms and of very large online search engines are to share data pursuant to Article 40 of Regulation (EU) 2022/2065

Google urges flexible age assurance approach in DSA minor protection guidelines

30 Sept 2024
Feedback on — EU guidelines on how online platforms should protect minors under the Digital Services Act.
Their ask — Google requests flexibility in implementing age assurance measures, emphasizing a risk-based approach rather than prescriptive requirements. They argue platforms closest to users should determine appropriate methods based on their service's specific risks. Google opposes mandatory device or operating system-level controls, advocating instead for account-based protections that allow personalized recommendations.1234
How it helps them — This would allow Google to maintain its existing multi-layered age assurance system and avoid costly device-level verification requirements.56
Who loses — Child safety advocates lose stronger age verification requirements that could prevent minors accessing inappropriate content.7

Google opposes extending telecom rules to digital services

28 Jun 2024
Feedback on — EU consultation on future connectivity networks and digital infrastructure regulation.
Their ask — Google urges abandoning plans to extend telecommunications regulation to digital services, cloud providers, and Internet interconnection. They argue these proposals would introduce unnecessary costs through de facto 'network fees' and dispute resolution mechanisms. Instead, they advocate demand-side policies focused on driving consumer adoption of fast broadband through digital skills and compelling content.123
How it helps them — This would avoid new compliance costs and interconnection fees for their services.45
Who loses — Consumers would face higher prices and worse Internet quality of experience.67

Google urges flexibility in EU transparency reporting templates

24 Jan 2024
Feedback on — New EU regulation on mandatory transparency reports for online platform content moderation.
Their ask — Google requests explanatory fields alongside quantitative data, limiting requirements to statutory text, and harmonizing reporting periods. They argue the proposed CSV format prevents context and risks misleading comparisons. They want optional rather than mandatory reporting of non-statutory metrics and categories.123
How it helps them — This would avoid costly system re-engineering and protect commercially sensitive operational information.456
Who loses — Public loses detailed standardized comparisons across platforms' content moderation practices.78

Google Cloud seeks narrower scope for EU financial oversight fees

13 Dec 2023
Feedback on — EU regulation on oversight fees for critical ICT service providers to financial sector.
Their ask — Google requests that oversight fees be limited to revenue from specific ICT services supporting critical financial functions, not broader global turnover. They want more flexibility in fallback options and confidentiality protections for audited financial data. They also seek clearer explanation requirements when ESAs make designation decisions.1234
How it helps them — This would reduce their fee burden by excluding non-financial revenue streams from calculations.5
Who loses — Financial regulators would collect less revenue to fund oversight of critical infrastructure providers.
Response to: COMMISSION DELEGATED REGULATION (EU) …/... supplementing Regulation (EU) 2022/2554 of the European Parliament and of the Council by determining the amount of the oversight fees to be charged by the Lead Overseer to critical ICT third-party service providers and the way in which those fees are to be paid

Google urges EU to leverage global cloud security in Cyber Solidarity Act

20 Jul 2023
Feedback on — New EU regulation on cybersecurity threat detection, preparedness and coordinated response capabilities.
Their ask — Google requests the EU adopt cloud-native security solutions and facilitate public-private collaboration with global security providers. They advocate for clear rules allowing non-EU entities to participate as trusted service providers in the Cyber Reserve. Google seeks confirmation that vertically integrated cloud providers with security services can qualify as trusted providers.123
How it helps them — This would position Google's cloud services and Mandiant security offerings as preferred EU partners.45
Who loses — European cybersecurity firms lose advantage as global tech giants gain privileged access.6

Their ask — Google wants the EU to recognize digital technology's role in achieving carbon reduction goals and create enabling policy frameworks. They recommend technology-neutral decarbonization pathways, enhanced clean energy procurement frameworks, and alignment on measuring technology's climate impact.123
How it helps them — This would position their AI and cloud infrastructure as essential climate tools.45

Google urges audit flexibility in DSA implementation

2 Jun 2023
Feedback on — Independent audits for very large online platforms and search engines under DSA.
Their ask — Google requests clearer audit standards to ensure consistency across platforms, more proportionate information requests from auditors, and protection of commercially sensitive agreements. They argue current rules risk inconsistent enforcement and disproportionate burdens on different platforms.123
How it helps them — This would reduce audit costs and protect commercially sensitive contract terms from disclosure.45
Who loses — Regulators lose transparency tools and consistent enforcement standards across all platforms.6
Response to: COMMISSION DELEGATED REGULATION (EU) …/... supplementing Regulation (EU) 2022/2065 of the European Parliament and of the Council, by laying down rules on the performance of audits for very large online platforms and very large online search engines

Google urges dialogue and safeguards for DSA researcher data access

31 May 2023
Feedback on — EU consultation on rules for researcher access to platform data under DSA.
Their ask — Google requests standardized application processes across all DSCs and procedures for good-faith dialogue between researchers, platforms, and DSCs before formal data requests. They want flexibility in providing data through different technical solutions suited to data sensitivity levels, from APIs to virtual data rooms. They emphasize rigorous vetting of researchers and clear accountability mechanisms for data misuse.123
How it helps them — This would give them more time to review requests and control over data delivery methods.456
Who loses — Researchers lose faster, more standardized access to platform data for public interest studies.

Google urges exclusion of standalone software from strict liability

9 Dec 2022
Feedback on — Revision of Product Liability Directive to cover digital products and AI systems.
Their ask — Google strongly opposes including standalone software under strict product liability rules. They argue software differs fundamentally from physical products and can be readily fixed through updates. They request removing related services from scope and clearer definitions of software.123
How it helps them — This would shield them from potentially unlimited liability for software bugs and data loss.45
Who loses — Consumers lose stricter protections when software causes psychological harm or data loss.6

Google Urges Professional-Led Battery Replacement for Smartphones

28 Sept 2022
Feedback on — EU regulation on ecodesign requirements for mobile phones and tablets.
Their ask — Google requests that battery replacement be carried out by professionals in workshop environments rather than by users at home. They argue user-led replacement creates safety risks and design constraints. Google also seeks removal of the IP44 water protection requirement for tablets, proposing a spill test instead.12
How it helps them — This would allow continued use of current smartphone designs without costly redesigns.34
Who loses — Consumers lose ability to replace batteries themselves without professional assistance.5
Response to: COMMISSION REGULATION (EU) …/… laying down ecodesign requirements for mobile phones, cordless phones and slate tablets pursuant to Directive 2009/125/EC of the European Parliament and of the Council and amending [add reference to the revised Ecodesign Regulation on standby, networked standby and off mode]

Their ask — Google requests the Commission define an acceptable minimum threshold for caller location accuracy and reliability across the EU. They also urge binding provisions for VoLTE interoperability testing across all EU mobile networks.12
How it helps them — This would simplify compliance requirements across 27 different national regulatory frameworks.3
Who loses — Member states lose flexibility to set their own emergency location accuracy standards.4

Google urges flexibility in EU political advertising rules

21 Jan 2022
Feedback on — New EU regulation on transparency and targeting of political advertising.
Their ask — Google requests clearer definitions of what qualifies as political advertising, shared responsibilities between platforms and advertisers, and flexibility in disclosure formats. They emphasize that advertisers should verify identities and declare when running political ads, with platforms relying on these declarations in good faith.123
How it helps them — This would shift verification burdens to advertisers and reduce Google's liability for classification errors.45
Who loses — Citizens lose comprehensive oversight as platforms could avoid responsibility by relying on advertiser declarations.6

Google urges shared AI regulation responsibility with deployers

15 Jul 2021
Feedback on — EU Artificial Intelligence Act proposal establishing risk-based rules for AI systems.
Their ask — Google requests creating a new class of "deployers" to share compliance obligations, especially for general-purpose AI tools. They argue providers often lack visibility into how systems are used and cannot fulfill requirements like post-market monitoring. The company also seeks clearer definitions and standards that reflect technical feasibility rather than perfection.123
How it helps them — This would shield Google from liability when third parties deploy its APIs in high-risk applications.45
Who loses — Users lose protections when general-purpose AI tools are deployed in risky settings without provider oversight.6

Google seeks flexible disinformation rules, warns against rigid standards

29 Apr 2021
Feedback on — Strengthening the EU Code of Practice on Disinformation through Commission guidance.
Their ask — Google requests flexibility in anti-disinformation measures, warning that comparability should not compromise effectiveness. They argue one-size-fits-all models risk backfiring and want services evaluated holistically rather than on single tools. They seek predictable reporting requirements and safeguards ensuring transparency doesn't enable bad actors or violate privacy.12345
How it helps them — This would allow Google to deploy interventions unique to each service without adopting standardized approaches.67
Who loses — Regulators and researchers lose standardized metrics to compare platform effectiveness across services.8

Google urges flexible transparency rules for political ads

23 Feb 2021
Feedback on — EU regulation on transparency requirements for sponsored political content and advertising.
Their ask — Google requests clear definitions of political ads and microtargeting, flexibility in transparency requirements across different services, and alignment with their existing identity verification program. They warn against burdensome requirements for issue-based advertising and advocate for safeguards in the Digital Services Act to prevent disclosure of commercially sensitive information.123
How it helps them — This would allow them to maintain existing ad policies while avoiding costly system changes.45
Who loses — Voters lose stronger protections against opaque microtargeting and issue-based political manipulation.67

Google Cloud urges proportionate oversight and harmonization of DORA requirements

28 Jan 2021
Feedback on — EU regulation on digital operational resilience for financial services and ICT providers.
Their ask — Google Cloud requests clear definitions of criticality based on objective criteria, harmonization with existing frameworks like ESAs Outsourcing Guidelines and NIS Directive, and recognition that oversight scope should focus on services used for critical functions only. They emphasize the need for proportionate enforcement and stronger coordination through the Lead Overseer.1234
How it helps them — This would reduce regulatory uncertainty and compliance costs from fragmented requirements.56
Who loses — Financial regulators lose some flexibility in conducting unilateral national supervisory activities.7

Google urges risk-based AI rules, warns against broad regulation

9 Sept 2020
Feedback on — EU regulation establishing requirements for trustworthy artificial intelligence systems.
Their ask — Google requests a risk-based approach focusing on high-risk applications rather than all AI systems. They want narrow AI definitions, alignment with existing procedures, and ex-post enforcement with self-assessment rather than upfront third-party reviews. They emphasize that mandatory requirements should be suitably tailored with minimal unwanted repercussions.123
How it helps them — This would reduce compliance costs and preserve flexibility to innovate rapidly.45
Who loses — Citizens lose stronger protections against AI harms through delayed or weakened oversight.67
Response to: Proposal for a Regulation of the European Parliament and the Council laying down requirements for Artificial Intelligence

Google Urges Narrow Safety Focus for AI Products

1 Sept 2020
Feedback on — EU revision of product safety rules to address new technologies and online sales.
Their ask — Google argues the EU should focus exclusively on physical safety risks from AI products, not broader issues like cybersecurity or mental health. They request narrow definitions for AI products and important changes, warning against requirements for transparency, human oversight, and shared liability across complex value chains.123
How it helps them — This would limit their liability exposure and reduce compliance burdens for software updates.45
Who loses — Consumers lose protections against cybersecurity vulnerabilities and algorithmic harms beyond physical injury.6

Their ask — Google requests EU support for teacher training programs, flexible technology procurement, and recognition of informal digital skills. They emphasize the need for coaching programs and infrastructure investment to support hybrid learning.123
How it helps them — This would expand markets for Google's education products and services across Europe.45
Who loses — Copyright holders lose revenue as Google seeks broader education exceptions to copyright law.67

Google urges EU to maintain liability protections while fighting child abuse

3 Jul 2020
Feedback on — EU strategy to combat child sexual abuse and exploitation online and offline.
Their ask — Google requests the Commission ensure regulatory coherence between the child abuse strategy and the Digital Services Act. They advocate for maintaining current liability exemptions while establishing a harmonized notice-and-takedown regime across Member States. The company emphasizes the importance of multi-stakeholder action and avoiding overly prescriptive technological requirements.1234
How it helps them — This would preserve their legal certainty and avoid compliance costs from fragmented national rules.567
Who loses — Child safety advocates lose stronger accountability mechanisms and faster content removal requirements.89
Response to: Communication from the Commission to the European Parliament, the Council, the European Economic and Social Committee and the Committee of the Regions on the EU strategy for a more effective fight against child sexual abuse

Google urges EU to preserve liability protections for online platforms

30 Jun 2020
Feedback on — New EU regulation on platform responsibilities for illegal content and user safety online.
Their ask — Google requests that the EU maintain current liability exemptions and avoid prescriptive requirements that would constrain innovation. They advocate for a notice-and-takedown system where platforms have no liability without actual knowledge of illegal content, and urge harmonization across the Single Market to avoid fragmentation.123
How it helps them — This would preserve their business model and avoid costly content monitoring obligations.45
Who loses — Users lose stronger protections against illegal content and harmful material on platforms.6
Response to: Digital Services Act: deepening the Internal Market and clarifying responsibilities for digital services

Google urges case-by-case approach over blanket competition rules

30 Jun 2020
Feedback on — New EU competition tool and ex ante regulation of digital platforms.
Their ask — Google requests flexible, evidence-based rules rather than blanket prohibitions on practices like self-preferencing. They advocate for enhanced antitrust tools, systematic data portability, and regulations that apply consistently across all platforms regardless of size. They emphasize preserving innovation while addressing specific harms through detailed case-by-case analysis.1234
How it helps them — This would protect their ability to integrate products and avoid disclosure of proprietary algorithms.567

They advocate for case-by-case assessment of product integrations, enhanced data portability systems, and flexible remedies rather than broad ex ante prohibitions.123
How it helps them — This would protect their product integration practices and avoid compliance costs from blanket rules.45
Who loses — Smaller competitors lose protections against Google favoring its own services in search results.6
