The European Commission opened a four-week consultation on 12 October on a draft implementing regulation under Articles 75c and 75d of the AI Act. The draft sets practical rules for proceedings run by the Commission, such as access to the file, protection of confidential information and limitation periods for imposing and collecting fines. It covers AI systems under the Commission's exclusive supervision, such as those built on a general-purpose model from the same provider or integrated into very large online platforms. Feedback can be submitted until 9 November 2026.

What it means: The consultation directly concerns mainly the large providers, such as those running very large platforms or search engines, since they come under the AI Office's direct supervision after the changes made by the Digital Omnibus on AI. Its importance is wider, though. Rules on access to the file, confidentiality and limitation periods decide how effective European AI supervision will be in practice. If the Commission can impose and collect fines within clear deadlines, large providers will have a stronger incentive to comply. For Greek businesses using AI tools built into large platforms, for example in advertising or search, it means their suppliers will be watched more closely, which could lead to changes in how those tools work or in their terms. Greek companies developing AI systems are not covered by this procedure but by national market surveillance authorities, yet the AI Office's practice will shape how the rules are read more generally. Anyone with a view, such as business associations or law firms, can submit comments on the Commission's portal. Companies that rely heavily on platform AI tools should keep an eye on any feature changes announced by their suppliers in the months after the rules are adopted.
