The proposed EU Data Act is part of the broader EU Data Strategy, which aims to create a single market for data within the EU. The Act is expected to be a key piece of legislation that will remove barriers to the free flow of data and facilitate access to data in a secure and trusted manner.
One of the main objectives of the Data Act is to promote data sharing across borders and between sectors. To achieve this, the Act proposes the development of common European data spaces in strategic sectors such as health, energy, and mobility. These data spaces would facilitate the exchange of data and ensure that data is accessible to those who need it while protecting privacy and security. The Act would also establish clear rules for the use of data, including rules for data protection and data ownership. It would encourage the development of data intermediaries that could help connect data users with data providers while ensuring that data is used in a responsible and ethical manner. EU Data Act is intended to promote innovation and competitiveness in the digital economy by unlocking the full potential of data. It is still being developed, and the exact details of the proposal are subject to change, but it is expected to be a significant piece of legislation that will shape the future of data use and sharing in the EU. |
