The Centre for IP & IT law of KU Leuven published a white paper on the Data Act proposal. It offers a detailed academic analysis of each chapter of the Commission proposal. The white paper calls on policymakers to streamline legal differences and coherence across policy files, strengthen portability provisions in business-to-consumer and business-to-business data-sharing iterations, increase legal certainty in business-to-government data-sharing provisions, and put into place effective enforcement mechanism across Member States’ national competent authorities.
