A call to EU legislators: protect rights and reject the call to delete transparency safeguard in AI Act

10 Feb 2026

We, the undersigned organisations and individuals, urge you in the strongest possible terms to reject the deletion of the Article 49(2) transparency safeguard for high-risk AI systems that is proposed in the AI Omnibus. This transparency safeguard ensures that providers of AI systems cannot circumvent the core obligations of the AI Act.
