Data Act: Czech Presidency seeks compromise on scope, data-sharing, public access

 
The Czech Presidency of the EU Council circulated a new compromise on the first five chapters of the new data law.

The compromise text, seen by EURACTIV, was circulated last Friday and will be discussed at the Telecom Working Party meeting on Thursday (27 October). The compromise is a step toward the general approach the Czechs aim to reach by the end of their Presidency in December.

The text clarifies that the users of a connected device will enjoy access to the data they contributed to generating regardless of their place of establishment. Operators that use smart contracts within data spaces are also covered in the scope. (...)
