European Union: Opened consultation on EU Data Act including data access requirements
Description
Opened consultation on EU Data Act including data access requirements
On 14 March 2022, the European Commission opened the consultation for the Data Act ahead of the legislative debate between Parliament and the European Council. The Act aims to ensure proportionate participation in the value of using data between businesses, consumers and public bodies. The Act seeks to facilitate access to data and review the rules on the legal protection of databases, to balance the rights to access data and the incentives to invest in data within the current data protection rules. The Act would provide a framework for the accessing and sharing of data. Specifically, the Act set out under which circumstances data may be used to produce value, with a focus on data access rights.
