Legislative Process

Commission publishes second draft of Code of Practice on marking and labelling of AI-generated content: The European Commission is facilitating a voluntary code of practice to help providers and deployers comply with Article 50 of the AI Act, which mandates marking and labelling of AI-generated content. This second draft incorporates feedback from hundreds of stakeholders, including industry, academia and civil society, gathered through surveys, meetings and workshops in January 2026, alongside contributions from Member States and European Parliament representatives. The revised code has been streamlined to reduce compliance burden whilst promoting open standards and an EU icon for labelling. The code comprises two sections: Section 1 addresses marking and detecting AI content for generative AI system providers, with enhanced flexibility and clarity; Section 2 targets deployers, focusing on labelling deepfakes and text on matters of public interest, adopting a more flexible and practice-oriented approach. Feedback on this draft is due by 30 March, with finalisation expected by early June 2026. The transparency rules become applicable on 2 August 2026.
