Today, Executive Vice-President for Technological Sovereignty, Security and Democracy, Henna Virkkunen, is hosting an implementation dialogue focusing on EU data policy including the Data Act, Data Governance Act, and Open Data Directive, to gather insights on where current policies can be simplified or streamlined.
Executive Vice-President for Technological Sovereignty, Security and Democracy, Henna Virkkunen said:
“Today’s dialogue represents the first step in simplifying our digital rules for all citizens and businesses. I look forward to hearing the views of EU consumers and businesses and reflecting together on how we can create an even more cohesive and simple approach to data policy.”
The Commission has invited stakeholders to participate in this dialogue, including public sector bodies, companies using public sector information, data intermediation service providers, small and medium enterprise representatives, European consumer associations, and companies manufacturing connected products.
This dialogue will help prepare work on the Digital Simplification Omnibus, set to be presented later this year. It will also feed into the EU’s Data Union Strategy, aimed at strengthening Europe’s data ecosystem.
