The European Commission has published a Proposal for a regulation on European data governance (Data Governance Act) at the end of 2020. The Data Governance Act will be debated in the European Parliament as of April 2021. Once approved, by both the European Parliament and the Council of the EU (national governments), the proposal will become binding law in all EU member states one year after its approval. With the DGA, the EU Commission wants to create a framework that will allow Europe to become a leading data economy, especially for industrial data. The Data Governance Act is part of a wider European Data Strategy, which will be complemented by a Data Act that will govern access to data in business-to-business (B2B) relationships.
