DESCRIPCIÓN

The European Commission, through DG Connect, has published the results of its public consultation on the new EU Data Strategy, outlining significant upcoming changes in how data is accessed, shared and governed across the continent. Businesses identified legal uncertainty, regulatory fragmentation among Member States, and GDPR-related constraints—particularly regarding industrial data and AI training—as major barriers to innovation.

The Commission aims to establish a more coherent and harmonised data framework, bringing clearer rules on the distinction between personal and non-personal data and strengthening European Data Spaces as the foundation for trustworthy and advanced AI. The outcome of this process will shape Europe’s digital competitiveness for the decade ahead, and if you want to explore all the details, you can do so at this link!
