Latest compromise text of EU Data Act addresses 'outstanding issues'

The new compromise text of the EU Data Act is being circulated, as the Czech Presidency of the Council of the European Union failed to “broker a common position” before a ministerial meeting Dec. 6, Euractiv reports. The new text addresses “outstanding issues,” including requirements for interoperability between “cloud providers of in-parallel services,” user egress fees and types of data users can request from cloud providers storing data generated by Internet of Things devices. It will be discussed during the Dec. 13 meeting.
