It repeals Decision (EU) 2015/2240. The programme is established as part of the response to the challenge of digital transformation, adding to the regulatory framework of the Digital Single Market (DSM) strategy. It focus on reinforcing the European Union's capacity in all main digital fields while ensuring their wide use across the economy and society. It is foreseen that it is also to complement other EU programmes.

An informal agreement on a compromise text between the co-legislators was reached on 13 February 2019.
