The European Commission has opened a call for evidence to collect research and best practices on how to simplify its legislation, especially when it comes to data, cybersecurity and artificial intelligence (AI).

This initiative is part of the Commission’s simplification agenda and efforts to create a more favourable business environment, by lightening administrative burdens and costs on companies. The initiative also supports the Commission’s target in the Competitiveness Compass to cut administrative burden by at least 25% for all companies and at least 35% for small and medium-sized enterprises.  

This call for evidence follows extensive stakeholder engagement that included public consultations on the Data Union Strategy, the Cybersecurity Act revision, and on the Apply AI Strategy. It is a first step in simplifying the EU’s digital rulebook and remains open until 14 October 2025.

RUSTICA - Converting organic residues into bio-based fertiliser products

The RUSTICA project obtained funding under Horizon 2020, more in particular under the topic ‘Closing nutrient cycles’.  RUSTICA focuses on demonstration and implementation of circular bio-based nutrient valorisation chains, focusing on waste from the fruit and vegetable agro-food system. The project kicked off in 2021 and will run until 2024. It will use a strong multi-actor approach to co-create both socio-economic and technological knowledge in four case study regions in Europe and one in Colombia. The Flanders-based company DRANCO is one of the project partners and acts as technical project manager for the entire project. DRANCO participates in the project to develop its own technologies, to network and to help make the transition to a more circular based economy.
