European Data Strategy: Regulatory Framework for Data Governance

Za spodbujanje evropskega gospodarstva je Evropska komisija sprejela strategijo, s katero želi izkoristiti vrednost podatkov, ki so na voljo v evropskem prostoru. Na njeni podlagi se sprejema vrsta aktov, namenjenih povečanju prostega pretoka podatkov, njihovi ponovni uporabi in premišljenemu upravljanju. EU želi s tem vzpostaviti regulativni okvir, ki bi zagotovil usklajeno ravnanje držav članic in okrepil varstvo zasebnosti ter pravice potrošnikov. Z novimi akti si EU prizadeva ohraniti in nadgraditi standarde, ki so bili vzpostavljeni v obstoječih aktih, povezanih z varstvom osebnih podatkov in prostim pretokom neosebnih ter odprtih podatkov javnega sektorja. Akti urejajo široko področje, ki zajema upravljanje podatkov in njihovo interoperabilnost, digitalne storitve in trge ter umetno inteligenco, pri čemer hkrati sledijo tako cilju svobodne izmenjave podatkov in njihove uporabe v pridobitne namene kot tudi cilju krepitve varstva zasebnosti in kibernetske varnosti. Posledično zagotavljanje medsebojne usklajenosti aktov in preprečevanje kolizij predstavlja izziv že ob oblikovanju aktov, kakšen bo njihov dejanski učinek, pa se bo izkazalo šele ob uporabi teh aktov.

The European Commission has adopted a strategy with the aim of promoting the European economy by harnessing the value of data available in the European area. Based on this strategy, a series of acts are being adopted to increase the free flow of data, their re-use, and thoughtful management. The EU seeks to establish a regulatory framework that ensures coordinated practices by member states and strengthens the protection of privacy and consumer rights. Through these new acts, the EU aims to maintain and enhance the standards established in existing acts regarding the protection of personal data and the free flow of non-personal and open data of public sector. The acts cover a wide range of areas, including data governance and interoperability, digital services and markets and artificial intelligence. They simultaneously pursue both the free exchange of data and their use for commercial purposes, as well as the strengthening of privacy protection and cybersecurity. As a result, ensuring their mutual consisteny and preventing collisions presents a challenge already during their formulation, while their actual impact will only be revealed through their implementation.
