Abstrakt
The Data Governance Act (DGA) aims to support the development of European data spaces in key sectors of the economy, reduce dependence on non-EU suppliers, and strengthen the data-driven economy. In this way, it will strengthen the EU’s digital sovereignty. Achieving these objectives depends on consistent implementation of legislation, the elimination of interpretation gaps, and ensuring a balance between the free flow of data and the protection of public and private interests.
