Just a quick blog post to align our readers on which legislation is in force and which is stalled at the moment:

• The Ultimate Beneficial Owners register (discussed here), which companies strived to populate by December 11, 2023, is currently on hold due to administrative litigation that currently blocks the application of the register.
• The European Regulation on Artificial Intelligence, which we already discussed here, is now final. It will enter into force in 2 years.
• Legislation on payback for medical devices will be scrutinized by the Italian Constitutional Court thanks to decisions of the Lazio Administrative Court issued on November 24, 2023.
• The Italian Sunshine Act (Law no. 62 of 2022), which we illustrated here, is in force but not yet applicable since the transparency website is not yet live.
• Next week the Whistleblowing Law (analyzed here and here) will be mandatory for all companies in scope.
• The Digital Services Act and the Digital Markets Act are in force.
