Council of the European Union offers latest Data Act compromise text

The Czech Presidency of the Council of the European Union released its latest compromise text for the proposed Data Act, Euractiv reports. The latest text offers changes to conditions for allowing public entities to demand access to privately held data. The proposal frees most EU institutions from requirements under the law and adds provisions to allow public sector bodies to use data from a private company in exceptional cases.
